Researchers from Exscientia and the University of Oxford have developed an advanced predictive model called ABodyBuilder3 for antibody structures. This new tool is key for creating monoclonal antibodies, which are integral in immune responses and therapeutic applications. The novel model improves upon the previous ABodyBuilder2 by enhancing the accuracy of predicting Complementarity Determining Region (CDR)…
As companies are becoming increasingly dependent on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for efficiency, automation, and customization, learning AI has become pivotal. However, not everyone is an expert in the domain. Salesforce offers a series of short AI-training courses on its Trailhead platform to equip individuals with essential AI skills, promoting them towards new opportunities and career…
Founded by MIT graduates Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones, Pienso is a platform that allows non-specialists to build machine-learning models to address societal issues. The idea stemmed from their 2010 study at MIT's Media Lab, where they developed a content moderation tool for companies like Twitter and YouTube. The innovation got companies excited and the…
Fusion oncoproteins, proteins formed by chromosome translocations, play a critical role in many cancers, especially those found in children. However, due to their large and disordered structures, they are difficult to target with traditional drug design methods. To tackle this challenge, researchers at Duke University have developed FusOn-pLM, a novel protein language model specifically tailored…
In the Artificial Intelligence (AI) world, the proper selection of Large Language Models (LLMs) is essential for maximizing efficiency and accuracy in various tasks. The following is a guide to choosing LLMs for several AI-related activities based on their specialized capabilities.
For tasks demanding deep comprehension and interpretation of hard documents such as scientific papers,…
Machine translation, a critical aspect of natural language processing (NLP), is centered on the development of algorithms that translate text from one language to another. This technology is crucial for overcoming language barriers and fostering global communication. Neural machine translation (NMT) has in recent times gained advancements in improving translation accuracy and fluency, pushing the…
Whisper WebGPU, developed by a Hugging Face engineer known as 'Xenova,' is a revolutionary technology that employs OpenAI's Whisper model to facilitate real-time, in-browser speech recognition. This development reshapes our engagement with AI-led web applications.
At the heart of Whisper WebGPU is the Whisper-base model, a sophisticated 73-million-parameter speech recognition model, specifically tailored for web inference.…
Sampling from complex and high-dimensional target models, like the Boltzmann distribution, is critical in various spheres of science. Often, these models have to handle Combinatorial Optimization (CO) problems, which deal with finding the best solutions from a vast pool of possibilities. Sampling in such scenarios can get intricate due to the inherent challenge of obtaining…
Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones, both MIT graduates, developed a tool facilitating social media content moderation as part of a class project in 2010. The project generated significant interest and was demonstrated at a White House cyberbullying summit. However, they initially struggled with their demo due to their unfamiliarity with teenage slang used in harmful…
In an enormous robotic warehouse, hundreds of robots zip back and forth, picking up items and delivering them to human workers for packing and shipping. This is becoming an increasingly common scene in various industries, from e-commerce to automotive manufacturing. However, managing these large numbers of robots, ensuring they reach their destinations effectively, and avoiding…
