🚀 Excited to announce that "Bayesian Illumination: Inference and Quality-Diversity Accelerate Generative Molecular Models" is now available! Key takeaway: Bayesian Illumination is 100x more effective than either genetic algorithms or deep generative models. 📊

Well, tweeps ... it took me a while but I think it is time to stop visiting this place. I'm off to bluer pastures ... 😉 🐦 See you there!

@abbas_k_rizi There's a longer, more complex, and subtle reasoning as well. The large scale holocaust rememberence took a lot of time and efforts after WW2 to start. Europe struggled to look itself in the mirror. There's residual momentum from those efforts on top of the delay, I think.

[Jonas Verhellen, PhD @jonas_verhellen]

@abbas_k_rizi Well, the literal nazi salute kind of gave us a hint this time. But I think, the absolute massive scale of the holocaust (17 million) and the fact that the NSDAP rose out of a Western democracy. Also, it's not that long ago. There's still holocaust survivers alive today.

@SamuelMullr Whoop whoop! ✨✨✨

[Jonas Verhellen, PhD @jonas_verhellen]

@SamuelMullr Super interesting! Is there a way of calculating/estimating uncertainties? I'm looking for something to fast to replace Gaussian processes.

@idamaho @ERC_Research Congratulations!

I got on this platform as a teenager to follow the arab spring. I'll never forget the first images to come out of Syria back then. I still hope to see Assad in a docket at The Hague one day, but for now I'll settle with his regime being brought down. #syria

@charliermarsh I think we would all like to know what good alternatives you've found/considered?

Due to sickness, I'm giving away a ticket for Mahler's 9th conducted by the 97 (!) year old Herbert Blomstedt.

Our group is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a project on reactive machine learning potentials. Reposts and spreading the word to interested people in your network appreciated!

@charliermarsh For many years, I woukd have said better error messages. And that's still a bit case although there's been big improvements.

i don't think all academics are driven by trauma. but academia attracts ppl who experienced school as a central space of validation, maybe the only place they were ever praised/"seen." also, academic accomplishments are wielded to counter parental neglect & societal debasement.
