2. Patrick Bryant: Structure prediction and design of protein interactions

12/6/24, 3:10 PM

The advent of AlphaFold revolutionized our understanding of protein structure prediction, delivering atomic-level accuracy for individual proteins. In this talk, I will present our advances in leveraging and extending the capabilities of predictive models like AlphaFold to predict and design functional protein complexes. Our work builds on the structural insights provided by AlphaFold,...

3. Anneli Kruve: Discovering toxic chemicals with machine learning

12/6/24, 3:40 PM

Development of chemical industry over the last century enabled our comfortable life; however, the technology is imperfect and many unknown chemicals with unknown effects end up in the consumer products directly impacting humans or are emitted to the environment thorough waste streams. Due to the fact that these chemicals are unknown, novel data driven methods are needed detecting and...

8. Golnaz Taheri: From Genes to Algorithms: How AI is Reshaping Life sciences

12/6/24, 4:35 PM

In this talk, I explore the transformative role of AI and ML in tackling some of the most critical challenges in computational biology. I will discuss how AI/ML, as powerful tools, offer solutions to decode complex biological systems, predict drug interactions, and advance cancer research. Highlighting the synergy between innovative methods and practical applications, this presentation focuses...

5. Chun-Biu Li: If you can't explain machine learning simply, you don't understand it well enough

12/6/24, 5:05 PM

Despite their high popularity in both academic and industrial applications, machine learning (ML) and AI usually give the impression of blackbox models, existence of artifacts, counterintuitive results, diversity of methods, complicated training, etc. In this talk, I will share my research and teaching experiences in ML/AI in order to promote the importance of building up intuitive and...
