Friday News - No big protein / molecule diffusion model announcement this week 🤨 - ELLIS starts a new program “Machine Learning for Molecule Discovery” that aims to improve computational molecular science in a multitude of its applications (eg, our favourite generative diffusion models). ELLIS is a pan-European AI network of excellence which focuses on fundamental science, technical innovation and societal impact. According to José Miguel Hernández Lobato (Cambridge): ELLIS Programs focus on high-impact problem areas that have the potential to move the needle in modern AI. Each Program has a budget for 2-3 workshops each year to enable meetings of ELLIS Fellows plus guests for intensive scientific exchange”. - Helmholtz Munich Campus organizes the 1st International Symposium on AI for Health to be held on Jan 16. Keynotes will be delivered by Mackenzie Mathis (EPFL), Michaela van der Schaar (Cambridge), and Marinka Zitnik (Harvard). - The Growth-focused ML event with leaders from Whatnot and Kumo.AI on Feb 1st, featuring Jure Leskovec discussing SOTA GNNs and where the ML community is heading.
