along with drug discovery, material discovery, magical materials that give infinite power... we likely need more than a language model to make the next scientific breakthrough 😜
quite a few folks a few years back told me they got essentially AGI at their co’s and told me they don’t have to join my team to work on drug discovery because they will ask AGI to solve this problem. like this🫰 most of them are not at where they were back then, but drug

Very Cool project led by @jeff_shen_ and @LindsayMSmith3 on cracking secret codes (aka cipers) with a transformer that is even interpretable! It beats all previous efforts in this area!
🧩🤖Solving puzzles with AI! @jeff_shen_ and I are excited to share our new project: ALICE, a neural network that cracks substitution ciphers with SOTA accuracy & speed, and is easily human-interpretable. Project page + demo: https://t.co/p0TyhfmOlk Paper: https://t.co/EoYBi6oIp0

Wanna really fundamentally change science using ML? Come join the @PolymathicAI initiative at our Cambridge (UK) location!
PolymathicAI is recruiting two postdoctoral researchers to join our team at Cambridge, to work on building and understanding large-scale foundation models for science. Please share with potential candidates!

Extremely proud of our recent "Lost in Latent Space" paper by our amazing @PolymathicAI intern @FrancoisRozet ! How far do you think we can/should compress ? What is needed in the latent space to keep rolling out the physics right across so many scales?
Does a smaller latent space lead to worse generation in latent diffusion models? Not necessarily! We show that LDMs are extremely robust to a wide range of compression rates (10-1000x) in the context of physics emulation. We got lost in latent space. Join us 👇

what do you teach at the first-year graduate course on machine learning, in this era of LLM and large-scale compute? here's my experiment on answering this question: let's teach everything that admits SGD and that is not LLM, and ask students to read old papers.
