It is not enough to give your moderation rules to ChatGPT: Policy-as-Prompt Moderation and Its Potential Impacts on Community Governance

Content moderation practices and governance paradigms are changing rapidly, as fewer human moderators are deployed as `experts' by social media companies in a centralized manner. Instead, the companies are focusing more on community approaches, relying on volunteers to provide accurate information and make correct decisions. In decentralized moderation, communities have always relied on volunteers, updated community guidelines, and internal discussions thereof. For both content moderation paradi

DrugGen 2: A disease-aware language model for enhancing drug discovery

Current computational approaches for drug design typically focus on generating molecules conditioned on specific targets or general molecular properties, often neglecting the influence of disease context on target behavior and therapeutic outcomes. To address this gap, we introduce DrugGen-2, a novel generative model that designs small molecules conditioned on both disease ontology and target protein sequences.
