Latent Labs comes out of stealth today with $50M funding. Our goal? To push the frontiers of generative biology, giving partners instant access to tools capable of accelerating drug design

New startup by DeepMind alums - Latent Labs is building AI foundation models to “make biology programmable,” and it plans to partner with biotech and pharmaceutical companies to generate and optimize proteins techcrunch.com/2025/02/12/f...

Whoop whoop 🥳

Great interview with @jascha.sohldickstein.com about diffusion models! This is the first in a series: similar interviews with Yang Song and yours truly will follow soon. (One of these is not like the others -- both of them basically invented the field, and I occasionally write a blog post 🥲)

📝 FeatureForest: the power of foundation models, the usability of random forests. Nomen est omen! We use features of the biggest models and train a handy random forest based pixel classifier with them. 👍 Hit bioRxiv recently… check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Immagine you could image two cellular structures in the same fluorescent channel and still reliably get them separated afterwards… What would you do with this? Now… what would you do if that also worked with 4 structures at once? 👇 #MicroSplit #preview🧵

Interested in neural operators? Check out this nice blog post that breaks them down by Magdalena Schneider and Michael Innerberger janelia-cvml.github.io/blog/posts/N... @hhmijanelia.bsky.social #deeplearning

🚨Check it out! 🚨 Submissions are now open for the CellMap Segmentation Challenge! Signup here: cellmapchallenge.janelia.org

Pretty nice read!

🚨🚨 MEGA JOB ALERT 🚨🚨 Independent Group Leader Positions in Computational Biology @humantechnopole.bsky.social! Are you ready to start your own lab? Do you know someone who is? Repost this + share with everyone who might want to know about it. Thanks!!! 🙏 More details below... check it out! 🧵 1/3

Welcome @alex-krull.bsky.social to Bluesky 🎊

Folks are always surprised to learn that NVIDIA has been working on a foundation model for cell segmentation called Vista 2D that can be trained on a variety of cell imaging outputs, including brightfield, phase-contrast, fluorescence, confocal, or electron microscopy. Blog in thread 🧵

MedicoSAM is here! 🥳 Our vision foundation model shows promising results for interactive segmentation, for both 2d & 3d medical images, across several tasks and imaging modalities! Don't take my word for this, check us out & try to "segment anything" on medical images! 😉🧵

📢PSA: #NeurIPS2024 recordings are now publicly available! The workshops always have tons of interesting things on at once, so the FOMO is real😵‍💫 Luckily it's all recorded, so I've been catching up on what I missed. Thread below with some personal highlights🧵

If you aren’t already using ollama.com, you’re missing out on all the latest LLM models and their crazy performances. Ollama has been the best democratization of the LLM models and helps you to run these models offline with ease. Very impressive!

Read a cool paper recently 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2501.00744 TL;DR: metrics like FID rely on assumptions of normal distribution which might not be optimal to capture heavy tail behavior of distributions leading to inaccurate evaluations. This provides a solution.

Congratulations @harschnitz.bsky.social 🎊🎊

Can you spot the difference between the cells on the left and right? Read on for the solution (and a preprint announcement)… 👇 1/6

The best microscopy course on the planet is accepting applications!

Google’s NotebookLM now lets you ask questions as the generated podcast is being played. Like if you’re there as a live audience. If this doesn’t blow your mind, I don’t know what will. Only if Google had a master marketeer like @sama.

iPhone shortcuts (if you use them well) are truly amazing. From a company dictating how their phones should be used to letting users “pipeline” functions, they’ve come a long way.

A post by @cloneofsimo on Twitter made me write up some lore about residuals, ResNets, and Transformers. And I couldn't resist sliding in the usual cautionary tale about small/mid-scale != large-scale. Blogpost: lb.eyer.be/s/residuals....

Schrödinger Bridge Flow for Unpaired Data Translation (by @vdebortoli.bsky.social et al.) It will take me some time to digest this article fully, but it's important to follow the authors' advice and read the appendices, as the examples are helpful and well-illustrated. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2409.09347

The slides of my NeurIPS lecture "From Diffusion Models to Schrödinger Bridges - Generative Modeling meets Optimal Transport" can be found here drive.google.com/file/d/1eLa3...

This paper doesn't get enough credit for what it's worth. This consequential papers is the basis of image quality metrics interpretation for generative models. arxiv.org/abs/1711.06077

The code for Simplified and Generalized Masked Diffusion for Discrete Data (Jiaxin Shi et al) has been released and a lecture by @arnauddoucet.bsky.social on this topic is also available! 🐍 Code: github.com/google-deepm... 📄 Article: arxiv.org/abs/2406.04329 📼 Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj9B...

This talk by seems to be the most interesting at #NeurIPS2024. I wish the slides were available already 🥲

Deepinv v0.2.2 is out! documentation: deepinv.github.io repo: github.com/deepinv/deep... v0.2.2 updates: 📚 New documentation 📊 Metrics classes 🧠 Advanced MRI: 3D and multicoil support 🔥 Bregman potentials 🌀 Advanced transforms: diffeomorphisms, time transforms 🖼️ New datasets ⚡ L12 prior

Another great resource on Flow Matching from Meta AI github.com/facebookrese...

After two years, our paper on generative models for structure-based drug design is finally out in @natcomputsci.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...

🔉New paper "Generalized Recorrupted-to-Recorrupted" 🔉 with @bemc22.bsky.social and Jorge Bacca - Generalizes R2R self-supervised loss for noise belonging to the exponential family. - Shows asymptotic equivalence with SURE. paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.04648 code: github.com/bemc22/Gener...

Unpopular opinion: Social media shorts are ruining attention spans by trapping you in an unconscious spiral of endless scrolling. If you’re going to procrastinate, it’s far better to watch a focused, hour-long video on “How Things Work” than to get lost in mindless shorts. Attention economy sucks.

Thanks all who helped out and commented in this thread with tips and tricks! I gave a talked recently on some work we have been doing in the lab that incorporated aspects from several of the responses. docs.google.com/presentation... #DiffusionModels #FlowMatching #StochasticInterpolants

Better VQ-VAEs with this one weird rotation trick! I missed this when it came out, but I love papers like this: a simple change to an already powerful technique, that significantly improves results without introducing complexity or hyperparameters.

A common question nowadays: Which is better, diffusion or flow matching? 🤔 Our answer: They’re two sides of the same coin. We wrote a blog post to show how diffusion models and Gaussian flow matching are equivalent. That’s great: It means you can use them interchangeably.

Important to keep in mind when reading about diffusion or flow matching: - diffusion models's Probability Flow ODE is not optimal transport. - Composition of optimal transports is not optimal. - Flow matching with OT conditional paths doesn’t provide optimal transport.

Can one ever get used of reading such an article about oneself without feeling weird? It’s much worse than hearing your own voice from a recording… 😊 Thanks Helen Zenner for all the work you put into this! 🙏

VAEs vs GANs will go down in history, much like Bayesian vs Frequentist learning from long gone years. Let us enjoy this moment for what it is — a beautiful moment in time. Too soon it will be gone. Blue skies are smiling on all of us today. Nothing but blue skies do we see.

New blog post on flow matching: dl.heeere.com/cfm/ Contains some nice visuals too!

I just realized how cool and consequential this is. This might be the best thing I have seen in 2024 🙌👏
