[Viacheslav Borovitskiy @vabor112]

Happy to share a major milestone: after years of development, we are officially launching Version 1.0 of the GeometricKernels library!

To top it off, our accompanying paper has just been published in JMLR (MLOSS)! 🎉

Introducing AlphaGenome: an AI model to help scientists better understand our DNA – the instruction manual for life 🧬

Researchers can now quickly predict what impact genetic changes could have - helping to generate new hypotheses and drive biological discoveries. ↓

An opportunity to join our team. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

We are looking a PhD Student Researcher at Google DeepMind for 2025 summer! Strong publication record and technical skills on machine learning and genomics preferred. Need to be 80% for a few months. Team in London. Looking forward to hear from you!

@edward_milsom Nice poster and work!

[Shreyas Padhy @shreyaspadhy]

I’m really excited to be attending NeurIPS and presenting our work on efficient fine-tuning of pre-trained diffusion models for SOTA conditional generation. Come chat with us on 12th Dec (Thursday) at 11am!

@glouppe I also didn't realise how important this was until I recently started at DeepMind, where large parts of my time are spent optimising throughput.

@realGeorgeHotz Transformers have the ability to play chess without explicit search, reaching an ELO of ~2800 in blitz, as shown in https://t.co/FtvUrniHB7

@markvanderwilk @PTenigma Hey Mark! We've developed a python package for spherical harmonics in d-dimensions that might be of interest to you. https://t.co/MthOOctbIJ

Computing the fourier coefs in high dimensions is typically hard but for zonal functions it reduces to a 1D integral using Funk-Hecke thm.

A highlight of the #NeurIPS2023 meetup in Cambridge for me was Carl Rasmussen's keynote on "Halting Climate Change". Spoiler: it has nothing to do with AI.

Happy to share Geometric Neural Diffusion Processes at #NeurIPS. Join us for Poster Session 3 on Wednesday if you’re interested in diffusion models for modelling equivariant stochastic processes.

Introducing a novel Langevin-based conditional sampler, our model scales to fit complex scalar/vector fields in both Euclidean & manifold codomains, exemplified by forecasting tropical hurricanes as per the illustrated figure.

[Vincent Dutordoir @vdutor]

as well as a keynote presentation by prof Carl Rasmussen on his latest research on climate change policy.

Finally, prof @lawrennd will chair a panel discussion on "AI for Social Good".

[Vincent Dutordoir @vdutor]

There are still a couple of places left for the NeurIPS@Cambridge meetup next week, Dec 8th. Priority will be given to people presenting a poster.

Registration & full schedule on https://t.co/9QnJFqsW1Q

[Vincent Dutordoir @vdutor]

Apart from posters, the day will feature two spotlight talk sessions...
