Accelerated Learning on Large Scale Screens using Generative Library Models
Biological machine learning is often bottlenecked by a lack of scaled data. One promising route to relieving data bottlenecks is through high throughput screens, which can experimentally test the acti...

Our LeaVS preprint is up! We demonstrate empirically & prove theoretically that LeaVS can dramatically accelerate learning, increasing the effective dataset size by orders of magnitude. Really useful biological assays have intractable bottlenecks: make the most of what you can get.

We're excited to present LeaVS, a method to scale up learning for protein function models. It is based on the co-design of wet lab experiments and in silico training.

How do you train AI on protein data when functional sequences are astonishingly rare? Traditional iterative optimization fails because most measurements show zero.
Our newly announcing learning system, LeaVS, shows a way.

So excited about this - we did iterative generative design at large scale with variational synthesis, and got human scFv candidates against some of the hardest therapeutic targets around.
The biggest challenge for AI in biology isn't just models, it's the data used to train them. Standard biological data isn't built for AI. To unlock generative AI for drug discovery, we must rethink how we generate and capture data. 1/

I think we’ve now manufactured more AI drug designs than OpenAI has generated responses, but plenty of bottlenecks remain to be innovated upon ‘til delivering the safest and most effective therapeutic is as easy as clicking print.

If there's such a thing as AI for drug design & development on easy mode, then it's probably in being able to build and test every design.
