Previously unseen details of human brain structure revealed. Featured image: a single neuron with ~5,600 of the nerve fibers that connect to it.

I feel overwhelming awe at nature's complexity and order.

If you closely, they do hold hands! Masterpiece.

These are important points about generative methods for molecules and the importance of chemists in the loop. We have to realize though that methods like DiffLinker are the first babysteps in a long process to improve them further. And improve they will.

Holy crap 😵‍💫. Paris is turning into Europe’s Silicon Valley. Good sailing guys. I hope you will be successful!! techcrunch.com/2024/05/21/fre…

Besides being hilarious this is also interesting. Could it be that, depending on context, LLMs really do glue bits of existing sentences together? Can we measure for word or a sentence by how many data-points it was influenced?

Super interesting paper on atmospheric modeling from the MSFT PDE AI4Science team lead by Paris Pedikaris. I had the privilege to work with this amazing team until I moved on. Congratulations, fantastic work!

This looks like an awesome workshop! Great place to discuss your latest thoughts in geometric DL.

“And if there were only one decent German left, he would be worth protecting against the whole barbaric gang and because of that one decent German one should not pour out hatred on an entire people.”

Amazing

Better than 99% of the songs at the Eurovision Song Festival.

Watch out for traveling waves: the next cool neuromorphic trick for neural computation.

Thank you Yisong and the Award Committee for choosing the VAE for the Test of Time award. I like to congratulate Durk who was my first (brilliant) student when moving back to the Netherlands and who is the main architect of the VAE. It was absolutely fantastic working with him.

🗽 It's exactly 400 years ago this month that New York City was founded:

As a Dutch person I have to insufferably keep reminding everyone that New York City used to be New Amsterdam

🇳🇱 It was discovered and founded by the Dutch in May of 1624, so about this time 400 years ago

Check👇out! New paper by Natasha Butt from AMLAB with Qualcomm collaborators on models that learn to discover programs to solve complex tasks. Congrats Natasha & Co!

Interesting how this happened to both OpenAI and Deepmind: “….. DeepMind, a seminal A.I. research lab that was supposed to prevent the very thing they are now deeply involved in: an escalating race by profit-driven companies to build and deploy A.I.” nytimes.com/2024/04/29/tec…

Put that way, the last part sounds a little scary even to me. Probably getting old 😅.

Zoubin about the promise of AI for Material Sciences. Needless to say: I agree with him.

#NewPaper What you see in the picture is the current best metal-organic framework (MOF) for ammonia adsorption, an important environmentally relevant application. Its composition is C78-O25-H42-Cr3. We discovered this material by developing a new algorithm that combines Bayesian
