. and interpolate between conformations of a protein-DNA complex. Finally, we train an modulated autoencoder that learns the functions of over 500 small molecules and is able to also smoothly interpolate between them and embed them in a chemically meaningful latent space.

Here's a first: I'm hiring a PhD student at @WUR. If you have (or know someone who has) a strong background and interest in computational (bio)chemistry or computer science (especially 3D computer vision), let's work together 😊.

. It even be used on multimodal data, such as amino acid sequences and SMILES strings in binding affinity prediction tasks like this: s = gzip.encode(smiles + " " + aa) For regression or classification, we then use a weighted kNN and the normalised compression distance . .

In "Learning on compressed molecular representations" Jan Weinreich and I looked into whether GZIP performed better than Neural Networks in chemical ML tasks. Yes, you've read that right. TL;DR: Yes, GZIP can perform better than baseline GNNs and MLPs .

Last year, a preprint gained notoriety, proposing that a k-nearest neighbour classifier is able to outperform large-language models using compressed text as input and normalised compression distance...
