New paper out with FAIR(+FAIR-Chemistry):

Adjoint Sampling: Highly Scalable Diffusion Samplers via Adjoint Matching

We present a scalable method for learning to sample *conditionally* from unnormalized densities beyond classical force fields.

God, that was hard to bear. Students told a physics town hall that grad schools have rescinded admission. NSF proposals are censored for words like “bias,” even when the meaning is technical. Physics curricula are being banned by school districts for encouraging girls. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch

Chaitanya led a very impressive paper here! Congrats and yay for unified representations!
Introducing All-atom Diffusion Transformers

— towards Foundation Models for generative chemistry, from my internship with the FAIR Chemistry team

There are a couple ML ideas which I think are new and exciting in here 👇

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

USDOT just published a Climate Strategies that Work Playbook. Looks pretty good.

Topics covered include road pricing, parking reform, and transit system integration. For each one, USDOT summarizes research findings and suggests federal funding opportunities.

The NIH actions go far beyond the DEI crackdown. All external advisory meetings are canceled, in ones that were in progress today. That means that NIH cannot issue new grants, as external review is required by law. It's a big deal. See, e.g. www.science.org/content/arti...
