@jannisblrn.bsky.social wrote a very nice teaser about our Neurips paper Quantum Doubly Stochastic Transformers (spotlight). Our co-authors Filip and Kahn will present it in San Diego, and Jannis in EurIPS. You can find links to the paper, video, and poster below:

Check out our workflow for AI-driven molecular design. We’ve successfully validated this experimentally already (papers coming soon)!
Fragment-Screen partner #IBMResearch has developed an open-source workflow for AI-informed molecular design!

Find out more about the workflow here and how it will help facilitate fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD)

1/ New paper out in @commsbio.nature.com, led by @marinv.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1038/s420...! Across several past studies, we showed how newborns' degraded vision may benefit human development and inspire more robust deep networks. We have referred to this as Adaptive Initial Degradations (AID).
Potential role of developmental experience in the emergence of the parvo-magno distinction - Communications Biology
Developmentally-driven computational modeling study suggests that early sensory experience shapes distinct neuronal response properties in the visual system, providing a potential account of the emerg...

#ICML Why are LLMs so powerful but still suck at math? 🤔 A key problem is cross-entropy loss: It is nominal-scale, so tokens are unordered. That makes sense for words, but not for numbers. For a "5" label, predicting “6” or “9” gives the same loss 😱 Yes, it's crazy! No, nobody has fixed this yet! ⬇️

🚨 Our new paper: Conditional Optimal Transport generalizes well to unseen drugs. Big step forward, thanks to conditional Monge Gap! Even better: conditional models often beat local, non-conditional ones. arxiv.org/abs/2504.08328. Code public! Thanks to all co-authors

Towards generalizable single-cell perturbation modeling via the Conditional Monge Gap
Learning the response of single-cells to various treatments offers great potential to enable targeted therapies. In this context, neural optimal transport (OT) has emerged as a principled methodologic...

If you're @neuripsconf.bsky.social and into #OptimalTransport & bio, dont miss on Alice Driessen's spotlight talk on #ConditionalMongeGap for modeling CAR Response. Today #AIDrugX workshop!

Positive results on OOD perturbations -> accurate gene expression prediction. Paper: ibm.biz/carot-pre

A new loss improves math capabilities in language models! The loss is model-agnostic and only requires to know which tokens represent numbers.
No computational overhead but better performance.
Poster today @NeurIPS - MathAI Workshop! Thx to collaborators from TUM AI!
