I am leaving X in favor of BlueSky. Since Elon took over, X departed from Twitter's values and turned into a dystopian platform. I have three two main reasons: (1) Zero content moderation is unacceptable. (2) Right-wing content skyrocketed. Details in the 🧵⬇️

(1) Social media platforms have responsibilities akin to journalistic formats. They dont *generate* fake news, but they should be accountable if they flush it to my newsfeed. If the NYT had a fake news headline, the publisher would resign. Listen to Harari bit.ly/4ggSZWd

(2) Right-wing content skyrocketed. This was strategic due to the 2024 presidential election. All users were at the mercy of Elon's personal interests. If that is not the definition of dystopia, what is? There is ample evidence for this: pewresearch.org/internet/202…

Very intriguing to learn that the degraded visual system of newborns is a feature and not a bug!

In our new paper in @Nature_NPJ we propose to use **z-scored** drug response measures (IC50, AUC etc). We show that conventional metrics hamper the development of personalized prediction models 🤯 Thanks to all collaborators!
New in #npjPrecisionOncology: Drug response models overlook nuances of drug effects between cancer subtypes. The solution? Use z-scored measures to unlock more personalized drug response predictions @jannisborn @MariannKruithof @Katja_HB4 @PChouvardas bit.ly/4biMxLS

We have now completed our analysis of new materials reported in the Google Deepmind / Berkeley autonomous lab paper. My own initial analysis is in the quote tweet. Happy to have worked with @SchoopLab to jointly put together a comprehensive analysis, now available on @ChemRxiv. This thread is my personal view after having looked at the detail of each of the materials reported 🧵 chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…
This exciting paper shows AI design of materials, robotic synthesis. 10s of new compounds in 17 days. But did they? This paper has very serious problems in materials characterisation. In my view it should never have got near publication. Hold on tight let's take a look 😱

Our paper got accepted at #AAAI24! 🎉 We propose two new sequence generation algorithms with "error bars", by adapting beam search to conformal predictions. If you use LLMs for science, like predicting molecules or proteins that verify some conditions, check it out!
Here's our preprint on conformal sequence generation! w/ @malberts99 @MariaRoCompBio arxiv.org/abs/2309.03797 Two new algorithms for sequence prediction sets with guarantees: - Conformal sub-beams: pruning standard beams - Conformal dynamic beams: step-by-step conformal decoding.
