Are you at the @accelerationc.bsky.social Conference in Toronto? Did you catch Siwoo Lee presenting on "MuAPBEK: An Improved Analytical Kinetic Energy Density Functional For Quantum Chemistry"? 🐯 #ACConference #Vertaix Check out the paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2505.04559

#NewPaper A major development in the design and discovery of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)! Thread below 👇👇👇 1/4

Our paper introducing Alternators has been accepted at TMLR. Alternators are a new class of generative models that outperform state-space models, such as Mambas, and diffusion models such as ScoreGrad. Check it out!

Meet another one of our graduating undergrads, Aminah Aliu🐯🧡 For her thesis, Aminah leveraged the Vendi Score & the Vendiscope to study embedding models on Yoruba datasets. She was 1 of four Princeton students nominated for the CRA Undergraduate Research Award and won an honorable mention. 1/2

The Princeton Class of 2025 is being hooded today. Meet one of our graduating undergrads, Ian Fernandes! He worked on modeling SEPs using Machine Learning at NASA. He's joining Microsoft. Congratulations, Ian, we are proud of you 🐯🧡 #Vertaix #AI4Science

#NewPaper We revisit Shannon's mutual information, highlight its shortcomings, and propose a novel alternative to it, called the Vendi Information Gain (VIG), using the Vendi Score. #InformationTheory #Diversity By: Quan Nguyen & @adjiboussodieng.bsky.social Link to paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.09007

I couldn't think of a greater way to start the week: "LLM4Mat-Bench: Benchmarking Large Language Models for Materials Property Prediction" (@adjiboussodieng.bsky.social and @jae3goals.bsky.social) is out in #MachineLearningScienceandTechnology 🤩 #EditorsLife iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Join us April 14 for the RSC Americas Emerging Investigators webinar on AI/ML in Chemistry! Featuring talks from Jolene Reid (UBC), César de la Fuente (UPenn) @delafuentelab.bsky.social, Adji Bousso Dieng (Princeton) @adjiboussodieng.bsky.social, and Connor Coley (MIT) rsc.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

#NewPaper We designed an "algorithmic microscope" & called it the Vendiscope. It is a new companion in the discovery process for scientists across fields and a powerful tool for diagnosing datasets and models for AI researchers. #AlgorithmicMicroscopy Link to paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.10828

#NewPaper How do you design generative models for sequence data that are robust to varying noise levels in time? Use the Vendi Score! Check out our new paper introducing the $\alpha$-Alternator, which outperforms popular models such as Mambas on forecasting. Link to paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.04593

#NewPaper Introducing Vendi-RAG, a novel RAG pipeline that uses the Vendi Score to balance diversity and relevance in retrieval. This leads to a significant performance boost in multi-hop QA. Link to paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.11228 Authors: Mohammad Reza Rezaei and @adjiboussodieng.bsky.social

Nice to meet you @andreniyongabo.bsky.social , great work! 👋 @adjiboussodieng.bsky.social

Our @andreniyongabo.bsky.social will be @neuripsconf.bsky.social presenting LLM4Mat-Bench at the AI4Mat Workshop ✨ LLM4Mat-Bench is the largest text benchmark for training LLMs for materials property prediction. #NLP4Science 🖇️Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.00177 💻Code: github.com/vertaix/LLM4...

Our @adjiboussodieng.bsky.social was one of the panelists discussing AI and Climate during Princeton's Andlinger Center's annual meeting. You can find a nice article summarizing this exciting event below: acee.princeton.edu/acee-news/an... #AI4Science #ClimateSky #Climate #Vertaix

Have you been wondering how your favorite LLM, e.g. Llama, Mistral, or Gemma performs on materials property prediction? We have just released LLM4Mat-Bench, the largest benchmark for materials property prediction with LLMs! #ChemSky Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.00177 Code: github.com/vertaix/LLM4...

Our VBO paper is now published in RSC Chemical Science ✨ This paper combines the Vendi Score with BayesOpt to discover novel MOFs. We discovered thermally stable & energy-efficient MOFs with a high storage capacity for NH3. #ChemSky #AI Code: github.com/vertaix/VBO Paper: doi.org/10.1039/D4SC...

Hello World! We look forward to sharing our science on this platform 🐯 #AI4Science #Vertaix #Princeton
