Apropos: jeg sitter nå på en strand på Sardinia og ser ut på yachten til Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al Thani, tidligere statsminister i Qatar. Her står det litt om hvor han har fått pengene fra: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamad_b...

Clara Chappaz, French Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Affairs, stating that France will be one of the most attractive countries for doing AI. (Didn’t say much about how to achieve that, though. But Paris and France is definitely already a powerhouse. 🇫🇷🤖) #AIActionSummit #AI #France

Jumper talks about the importance of having the right loss functions, and the importance of having confidence/uncertainty measures. And also how building new ideas into the algorithms amplifies the strength by 100. Data is not everything.

Jumper goes into details in how AlphaFold2 is working, and how they have used semantics (LLMs, they called it rawBERT) to create distograms, i.e., how close different parts of proteins are. This was essential for finding the geometry/structure of the protein. + attention mechanisms, etc.

Next is John Jumper, also from DeepMind. He starts talking about how standard physics often turns out to be cartoon-like formalisms (simplifications) not suitable to solve the complex problems of biology. AI/ML may be a better tool, at least to find solutions that can be fed into other methods.

Fantastic lecture also by Hassabis! 🤩 He rounds off with the bigger picture of AI/AGI, and how AI will accelerate science.

"Maths has been an incredible language for describing physics, AI is maybe the perfect description language to biology." Hassabis talks about how guided tree search may not be used only for Go or protein folding, but may be a more general method in AI for science.

"We started DeepMind in 2010 with the vision to make artificial general intelligence. The vision was to create a modern day Bell Labs."
He then jumps to DeepMind's achievements in Go. #NobelPrize

This is a glimpse into the future! I recommend everyone to see this. Baker shows examples on neutralizing snake toxin, shrinking tumors, targeting influenza,
blocking Alzheimer’s-associated fibrils, making pore forming proteins + use in technology, sustainability +++. Just amazing! #NobelPrize

David Baker's talk is extremely impressive! 🤩 I cannot possibly cover all, but he shows how protein design / design of protein nanopores will not only transform drug design, but may also transform sensor technology and computer chips, as they can be inserted into silicon-based materials. #NobelPrize

First lecture is from Baker, on de novo protein design.

First lecture is from Baker, on de novo protein design.
Introduction: Christian Anfinsen (Nobel prize winner from 1972) stated that it should be possible to predict the protein structure directly from the amino acid sequence. This is what has now been solved. And also "the opposite", de novo protein design.
