Here’s the updated Computational Biology Starter Pack! Let me know if you'd like to be included. go.bsky.app/QVPoZXp

New starter pack! go.bsky.app/GZ4hZzu

We translated a validation strategy in Materials to Small molecules. A key problem in cross-validation is splitting of data. Here we propose a step-forward CV. People are used to scaffold splits, time splits etc. but these all have limitations.

Thrilled to share our approach for language model-guided discovery of unknown mammalian metabolites: DeepMet. We’ve now used this approach to discover ~50 new human and mouse metabolites! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Two BioML starter packs now: Pack 1: go.bsky.app/2VWBcCd Pack 2: go.bsky.app/Bw84Hmc DM if you want to be included (or nominate people who should be!)

A starter pack for anyone interested in AI & drug discovery :) go.bsky.app/AgYHc8j

I'm making a list of AI for Science researchers on bluesky — let me know if I missed you / if you'd like to join! go.bsky.app/AcP9Lix

This pack is now up to 67 people, broadly in AI and advanced data for science. Follow along, and forward me others who should be there! 🦋🦋 go.bsky.app/JeFdryY

We got an 🥂 Outstanding Paper Award!! Cannot be more grateful 🥹 This is super validating for our long pursuit of computational work on QUD. Congrats to the amazing @yatingwu.bsky.social, Ritika Mangla, Alex Dimakis, @gregdnlp.bsky.social
