Beyond language — across health, biology, code, financial markets and the physical world.
Foundation models are expanding beyond natural language. Across healthcare, biology, software, music, finance and the physical world, valuable information is expressed through clinical events, physiological signals, genomic sequences, molecular structures, source code, mathematical expressions, acoustic patterns, market data and physical trajectories.
This programme explores how foundation-model principles change across these different data languages.
