“The Protein Universe Atlas is a groundbreaking resource for exploring the diversity of proteins. Its user-friendly web interface empowers researchers, biocurators and, students in navigating the “dark matter” to explore proteins of unknown function.”
🥁 That’s what the committee said about this work, one of the #SIBRemarkableOutputs 2023 👏
So… Big Tech is allowed to blatantly steal the work, styles and therewith the job opportunities of thousands of artists and writers without being reprimanded, but it takes similarity to the voice of a famous actor to spark public outrage about AI. 🤔
The MLX is Apple's framework for machine learning applications on Apple silicon. The MLX examples repository provides a set of examples for using the MLX framework. This includes examples of:
✅ Text models such as transformer, Llama, Mistral, and Phi-2 models
✅ Image models such as Stable Diffusion
✅ Audio and speech recognition with OpenAI's Whisper
✅ Support for some Hugging Face models
MIT launched the 2024 edition of the Introduction to Deep Learning course by Prof. Alexander Amini and Prof.Ava Amini. The course started at the end of April and will run until June. The course lectures are published weekly. The course syllabus keeps changing from year to year, reflecting the rapid changes in this field.
(1/2) Google released a new foundation model for time series forecasting 🚀
The TimeFM (Time Series Foundation Model) is a foundation model for time series forecasting applications. This pre-trained model was developed by the Google Research team. It joins the recent trend of leveraging foundation models for time series forecasting, which includes Salesforce's Moirai and Amazon's Chronos.
Version 0.12.0 of the skforecast Python library for time series forecasting with regression models was released this week. The release includes new features, updates for existing ones, and bug fixes. 🧵👇🏼
This summer there will be four courses 😯:
Computational Neuroscience, NeuroAI, Deep Learning, and Computational Tools for Climate.
Mentors will hold a one-hour meeting every week with a small cohort of students, where they will discuss with them and help them progress in their journey in industry and academia.
Version 1.7.1 of the NeuralForecast #Python library was released last month by Nixtla. The NeuralForecast library, as the name implies, provides a neural network framework for time series forecasting. 🧵👇🏼
Meta released today Llama 3, the next generation of the Llama model. LLama 3 is a state-of-the-art open-source large language model. Here are some of the key features of the model: 🧵👇🏼
(1/2) Models Demystified - A Practical Guide from t-tests to Deep Learning 🚀👇🏼
The Models Demystified is a new book by Michael Clark and Seth Berry that focuses on the mechanizing of core data science algorithms. That includes the following topics:
✅ Linear and logistic regression
✅ Generalized Linear Models
✅ Regularization methods
✅ Model training approaches
✅ Deep learning and neural networks
✅ Causal Modeling
Whenever I see OpenAI's Sam Altman with his pseudo-innocent glance, he always reminds me of Carter Burke from Aliens (1986), who deceived the entire spaceship crew in favor of his corporation, with the aim of getting rich by weaponizing a newly discovered intelligent lifeform.
Andrej Karpathy just released a new repo with an implementation of training LLM with pure C/Cude with a few lines of code 🚀. This repo, according to Andrej Karpathy, is still WIP, and the first working example is of GPT-2 (or the grand-daddy of LLMS 😅) 👇🏼
(1/2) Moirai - Salesforce's Foundation Forecasting Model 🚀
Salesforce recently released Moirari - a new #Python 🐍 library with a foundation model for time series forecasting applications. According to the release blog - the model comes with universal forecasting capabilities and can handle multiple scenarios and different frequencies.
The below course by Dhaval Patel is a beginner-level course for Deep Learning in Python with Tensorflow 2.0 and Kares. The course covers the foundations of neural network and deep learning, which includes the following topics: 🧵👇🏼

If I need to describe data science in one word, it would be optimization, and in two words, convex optimization. Convex optimization is the mathematical mechanizing beyond many data science algorithms, from least squares to neural network. The Convex Optimization course by Prof. Stephen Boyd (Stanford University) focuses on methods for identifying and solving convex optimization problems.
