Platonic Transformers 🔹
Check out the thread below for more.👇
There's an increasingly popular argument saying that for 3D point clouds with rotational ambiguity (e.g. molecular data) standard transformers are preferable over equivariant models for compute reasons. With “Platonic Transformers” we show why this doesn't have to be true. arxiv.org/abs/2510.03511
Platonic Transformers: A Solid Choice For Equivariance
While widespread, Transformers lack inductive biases for geometric symmetries common in science and computer vision. Existing equivariant methods often sacrifice the efficiency and flexibility that ma...

This is very important and I am so glad about the efforts taken in Tübingen by Claire. Kudos! 👏
With “Tübingen Women in Machine Learning”, Claire Vernade and her team have created a local community. Their aim is to empower women and make them more visible. Read more on our blog: www.machinelearningforscience.de/en/a-network... @twiml.bsky.social #TWiML #WiML
A network for women to support each other
There are still far fewer women than men working in the field of machine learning. With "TWiML", Claire Vernade has fostered a community for women in Tübingen.

Loving bsky community. Since I joined, I got to meet a lot of new people especially women in ML/AI!
It's really heart warming to see that there are so many incredible women doing really cool work especially on the days when you face the challenges of working in severely skewed gender ratio groups.
