Marius took part in MATS Winter 2022/23 Cohort under the mentorship of Evan Hubinger (Anthropic). He published multiple pieces on mechanistic interpretability on LessWrong including work on maximum data dimension and double descent. He is currently the CEO and Director of Apollo Research, a new London-based technical alignment organization. Previously, he did a Ph.D. in Machine Learning and conducted independent alignment research. Read more on his website.
2022—2023 年冬季班共有 58 位学员和 17 位导师，导师来自 Anthropic、MIRI、ARC、Redwood Research 等领先机构。本届首次设立 Scholar Support 团队，为学员提供研究指导，并协助他们解决研究过程中的障碍。项目先在线开展 6 周，随后在伯克利线下进行 2 个月。学员还组织了多种活动，包括机制可解释性和线性代数学习小组、每周闪电演讲，以及研究工具和技术写作工作坊。本届校友中，Marius Hobbhahn 创立了 Apollo Research 并发表了机制可解释性研究；Asa 与他人合著了关于测量情境意识以及大型语言模型“反转诅咒”的论文；Jesse Hoogland 创立了 Timaeus，并提出了发展式可解释性研究方向。
Apollo almost certainly would not have happened without MATS. One of the core reasons why starting an organization is hard is because the founding members need to know and trust each other. It is often hard to find people with similar agendas that you also personally enjoy working with in a systematic manner. MATS implicitly created such an environment because it enabled many of us to understand what everyone else is working on, get to know them personally and see their research progress without having to commit to anything in particular.
