This seems to go against academic principles of freedom of ideas - - would like to hear ETHs justification.

It has not been reported much, but I believe ETH Zurich has, as of last week, banned new Master and PhD students who attended a long list of universities in China, Russia, and Iran. 🧵

I wonder if a 3D-aware encoding (whether Rope or another approach) in a sequence to expression model could use information from HiC, since we generally don't know the full 3D structure of DNA, nor is it static. .

A common misconception about Transformers is to believe that they're a sequence-processing architecture. They're not. They're a *set-processing* architecture. Transformers are 100% order-agnostic (which was the big innovation compared to RNNs, back in late 2016 -- you compute.

In fact one of the main achievements of LLMs should be too teach us that much of what we admire in successful people (being articulate, formulating convincing arguments, accessing knowledge in their head quickly) is pattern matching rather than reasoning.

Worth repeating:.Do not confuse retrieval with reasoning. Do not confuse rote learning with understanding. Do not confuse accumulated knowledge with intelligence.

I won't do as good a job as @NandoDF, but thanks to the @NobelPrize for giving me a decent chance at explaining both the Chemistry and Physics Prize. Computational biologist or polymath, you decide. .

For the first time in my life I can explain what the physics @NobelPrize is about!. In fact, if you’d like to learn what is a Hopfield net and how it relates to NP hard satisfiability, Boltzmann machines, autoencoders, score matching, Maxwell demons, maximum likelihood,.

I would have used TikTok instead of Tinder as the example, but otherwise pretty spot on. We all used to be somewhere between Wall-E and C3PO for a definition of AI, now the best you can hope for is "not Magic 8 Ball".

I told a colleague that logistic regression is AI and they got mad at me, so I made a chart. Find yourself. I am "Tinder is AI".

The solution to this, and it's gonna sound like a joke but I'm 100% serious, is to have an AI agent manager supervising the other AI agents to make sure they stay on track. They can even give them pep talks when needed. Here's what this looks like:

Correct diagnosis. Every AI or even large scale data science effort we've done in my team has started with an intensive data harmonization step.

one important reason we haven't reached an "alphafold moment" for biological data beyond protein structures:. datasets for protein structure are consistent and uniform. x-ray crystallography or cryo-EM data provide absolute atomic coordinates, meaning that the data is
