Research Engineering @ Turing

@hut23.bsky.social

We are research software engineers and data scientists connecting research to applications at The Alan Turing Institute, the UK's national institute for data science and AI.

Shoutout to our very own Rosie Wood, who recently presented two contributions at CoSeC/CIUK 2025: - A talk at on porting Microsoft's Aurora foundation model for global weather prediction to the DAWN supercomputing cluster at Cambridge University! 🌍

Researchers from the Turing, Anthropic and the AI Security Institute have conducted the largest study of data poisoning to date. Results show that as little as 250 malicious documents can be used to “poison” a language model, even as model size and training data grow: bit.ly/4n0mH4t

LLMs may be more vulnerable to data poisoning than we thought

A Turing collaboration with the AI Security Institute and Anthropic will help to protect AI models from misuse

Getting data into the hands of researchers is essential for making progress in machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, in sensitive domains like health or finance, this cannot be done without compromising the privacy of the data subjects. How can we get around this? 👇
