Is it possible to get the Nobel prize by induction?

Hacking through ICLR deadline

Nine of our papers are going to NeurIPS in San Diego. More bragging will follow shortly.

Today we celebrate the 1st Anniversary of AITHYRA, founded as Research Institute for Biomedical Artificial Intelligence of the OeAW with generous support of the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation. Happy Birthday, #AITHYRA, the institute we love, cherish and pamper. www.oeaw.ac.at/aithyra/about

Was wonderful presenting at the #AITHYRA AI for Life Science Opening Symposium in Vienna this week! Thank you @mmbronstein.bsky.social and @georgwinter.bsky.social for the invitation to present our newest work! #biology #research #AIforLifeScience @imbavienna.bsky.social @francesarnold.bsky.social

The first AITHYRA Symposium #AIinLifeScience at the House of Industry Vienna started with a very engaging and motivating video message from @eviholz.bsky.social Austrian Minister for Women, Science and Research. Link to video: tinyurl.com/2je333cu #AITHYRA is grateful for the trust placed in us!

We are honored that Nobel laureate @francesarnold.bsky.social of @caltech.edu is giving the keynote lecture tonight at the #AIforLifeScience Symposium!

“Machine learning will have the capability to find patterns where we can’t see them with our own brains or our own eyes”, says @deboramarks.bsky.social from @harvard.edu at the #AIForLifeScience symposium of #AITHYRA

The next big thing in AI for his field will be “modelling protein dynamics, not just static structures”, @moalquraishi.bsky.social from @columbiauniversity.bsky.social emphasises at #AITHYRA ‘s #AIForLifeScience Symposium

The current grand challenge in AI, that @marinkazitnik.bsky.social from @harvard.edu is especially excited about, is developing systems that serve as collaborative partners, working alongside human scientists. #AIForLifeScience #AITHYRA

“We need to start all over again and reinvent small molecule drug discovery in a way that is native to AI”, Greg Verdine, Co-Founder, President and CEO of LifeMine Therapeutics, is convinced. #AIForLifeScience #AITHYRA

“We can do science in a different way: generate very big datasets, train models with them, and then use that to predict and engineer biology”, says @benlehner.bsky.social from @sangerinstitute.bsky.social at the #AITHYRA #AIForLifeScience Symposium
