A new class of antibiotics discovered using graph #deeplearning#AI
This is extraordinary for combating antibiotic resistance, which has been projected to cause 10 million deaths / year by 2050.
"To figure out how the model was making its predictions, the researchers adapted an algorithm, Monte Carlo tree search, which has been used to help make other deep learning models more explainable."

Whenever I see OpenAI's Sam Altman with his pseudo-innocent glance, he always reminds me of Carter Burke from Aliens (1986), who deceived the entire spaceship crew in favor of his corporation, with the aim of getting rich by weaponizing a newly discovered intelligent lifeform.

Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better. -Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
“A 14-line #python script using a 30-year-old data compression algorithm in combination with a 70-year-old classification algorithm beats modern #deeplearning methods”
Today I had a thought ( a rare occurrence 🤪 ),
you know how you do not own anything anymore?!
Everything is subscription based, and is gone as soon as you can no longer afford it?!
AI might do the same with skills, in the future people might no longer be able to do things without AI that seem simple to us now. So you will no longer be able to access your skills without money, very dystopian if you think about it. 🤔
Since #healthcare execs are salivating over #LLM : If you deploy it in 100M patient encounters , that's 100,000 law-suits under an anticonservative error rate of 0.1% (see linked tweet).
Factoids:
*There are ~120M encounters in the US annually
*~20k lawsuits are filed annually in the US
FDA wouldn't license a device with 0.1% failure rate
*medical device manufacturers cannot use disclaimers to get themselves out of lawsuits.
If you enjoyed the #gzip (traditional computer science) + nearest neighborhood (your grandpa's statistical / machine learning) beats #deeplearning / #LLM, you are going to also love this paper which also showed something similar in drug discovery: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-022-00581-6
Harvard's metaLab has launched https://aipedagogy.org, a resource chock full of tasty assignments by trailblazers of generative AI in the classroom. (My own "AI Sandwich" is also on the menu.)
I've already stolen Juliana Castro's "Illustrate a Hoax" for my own class!
(1/2) Moirai - Salesforce's Foundation Forecasting Model 🚀
Salesforce recently released Moirari - a new #Python 🐍 library with a foundation model for time series forecasting applications. According to the release blog - the model comes with universal forecasting capabilities and can handle multiple scenarios and different frequencies.
Only 2 days left to get your student application in!! Neuromatch Academy can be a huge career boost for people looking to improve their computational skills. #neuroscience#neuroai#deeplearning
So… Big Tech is allowed to blatantly steal the work, styles and therewith the job opportunities of thousands of artists and writers without being reprimanded, but it takes similarity to the voice of a famous actor to spark public outrage about AI. 🤔
“The Protein Universe Atlas is a groundbreaking resource for exploring the diversity of proteins. Its user-friendly web interface empowers researchers, biocurators and, students in navigating the “dark matter” to explore proteins of unknown function.”
🥁 That’s what the committee said about this work, one of the #SIBRemarkableOutputs 2023 👏
This summer there will be four courses 😯:
Computational Neuroscience, NeuroAI, Deep Learning, and Computational Tools for Climate.
Mentors will hold a one-hour meeting every week with a small cohort of students, where they will discuss with them and help them progress in their journey in industry and academia.
(1/2) Google released a new foundation model for time series forecasting 🚀
The TimeFM (Time Series Foundation Model) is a foundation model for time series forecasting applications. This pre-trained model was developed by the Google Research team. It joins the recent trend of leveraging foundation models for time series forecasting, which includes Salesforce's Moirai and Amazon's Chronos.
