By using a sparse autoencoder, Prof Bonnie Berger and her @lab_berger students are uncovering how protein language models make predictions. "Identifying features that protein language models track has the potential to reveal novel biological insights from these representations."
A new approach from researchers in @MITMath can reveal the features AI models use to predict proteins that might make good drug or vaccine targets https://t.co/KrmFFsOHZI
“AI is a powerful tool that has left underserved communities without representation, and I want to change this,” MIT alumna Faith Baca says. https://t.co/khJQxEBBKE @MITMath@MITEECS@MIT_alumni@MIT_Spectrum
Excited to share our recent work: Sparse autoencoders uncover biologically interpretable features in protein language model representations now in PNAS. Thread below 🧵
We are pleased to launch the Simons Collaboration on Probabilistic Paths to Quantum Field Theory, which will bring together experts in probability, analysis and mathematical physics to work on problems related to quantum field theory. https://t.co/9guZVDXcSZ #math
