I'll be at NeurIPS for the workshops if folks want to meet up!

Super excited to preprint our work on developing a Biomolecular Emulator (BioEmu): Scalable emulation of protein equilibrium ensembles with generative deep learning from @msftresearch.bsky.social ch AI for Science.

Evolution is non-linear, the next step in the evolutionary lineage of the ESM series of models is a sequence only protein language model that sets a new state of the art in representation learning.
Check it out! The 300M and 600M models are open weights, 300M available for commercial usage.
#CASP16 results are in! Template-based VFold seems to be lead method for nucleic acid structure prediction! AlphaFold2 and 3 still seem to be best methods for protein monomer and complex prediction.
Have you ever wondered how to train an autoregressive generative transformer on text and raw pixels, without a pretrained visual tokenizer (e.g. VQ-VAE)?
We have been pondering this during summer and developed a new model: JetFormer ππ€

Better VQ-VAEs with this one weird rotation trick!
I missed this when it came out, but I love papers like this: a simple change to an already powerful technique, that significantly improves results without introducing complexity or hyperparameters.
Diffusion is starting to look much more comprehensible and less like dragons these days π
I'm pleased to announce a new blog post from
@ruiqigao.bsky.social and some other folks on my team, showing that diffusion == Gaussian flow matching.

Anne Gagneux, Ségolène Martin, @quentinbertrand.bsky.social Remi Emonet and I wrote a tutorial blog post on flow matching: dl.heeere.com/conditional-... with lots of illustrations and intuition!
We got this idea after their cool work on improving Plug and Play with FM: arxiv.org/abs/2410.02423
Plot it as a CDF and it'll look like a sigmoid curve.
I think the #1 way you can tell apart AI images is when they don't seem to tell a story at all. A lot of these seem like psychedelic fractals rather than art with some kind of underlying theme.

Update: I clicked follow on entire starter packs and now regret it. I wish I just skimmed them and were a bit more selective.

Nice!

Two full starter packs for your bioml needs!
We're about to release a pretty massive multiome atlas (includes chromatin) of several adult tissues via ENCODE4 + a significant expansion of the bulk DNase and ATAC datasets (already out). Many more regions than ENCODE3.
What did it? The starter packs??
Complicated configs to me look like programs so I don't know why you would do that in Python, so whatever you pick it should just be in the language you use :)
Hi Bluesky! I made it on Kevin's starter pack πππ here to discuss all things bio and all things ML!
In a gratuitous attempt to acquire more followers myself π, I've made a start on a "starter pack". Hopefully as more people from π¦ make it over to π¦, we can extend this a bit. Suggestions welcome!
I've noticed not all accounts seem to be eligible to be added, anyone know what's up with that? π€
Two BioML starter packs now:
Pack 1: go.bsky.app/2VWBcCd
Pack 2: go.bsky.app/Bw84Hmc
DM if you want to be included (or nominate people who should be!)
I don't really understand how this app works. How do I follow all the ML people? π
