Happy to share I've been named a 2026 #AI2050 Early Career Fellow by @SchmidtSciences. I’ll investigate generative models for molecules as part of a global cohort working to ensure AI benefits society by 2050.

“One of the continuing scandals in the physical sciences is that it remains in general impossible to predict the structure of even the simplest crystalline solids” (John Maddox) OXtal is a new all-atom generative diffusion model addressing this holy grail problem

2025 CHAIR Structured Learning Workshop
Welcome to the 2025 Chalmers AI Research Center Workshop for Structured Learning. In this workshop we broadly cover topics related to Structured Learning targeting specifically the following questions...

SuperDiff goes super big! - Spotlight at #ICLR2025!🥳 - Stable Diffusion XL pipeline on HuggingFace huggingface.co/superdiff/su... made by Viktor Ohanesian - New results for molecules in the camera-ready arxiv.org/abs/2412.17762 Let's celebrate with a prompt guessing game in the thread👇
I've spent more compute time than I care to admit calculating the likelihood under flow models. Now 5x-10x faster likelihoods for stochastic flows🤯. Check out our work on SuperDiff for a great use case of model mixing.
🧵(1/7) Have you ever wanted to combine different pre-trained diffusion models but don't have time or data to retrain a new, bigger model? 🚀 Introducing SuperDiff 🦹♀️ – a principled method for efficiently combining multiple pre-trained diffusion models solely during inference!
🔊 Super excited to announce the first ever Frontiers of Probabilistic Inference: Learning meets Sampling workshop at #ICLR2025 @iclr-conf.bsky.social! 🔗 website: sites.google.com/view/fpiwork... 🔥 Call for papers: sites.google.com/view/fpiwork... more details in thread below👇 🧵
Amazing blog post on flow matching, stunning visuals! It also makes the connection with normalising flows crystal clear. Incredible effort!
Anne Gagneux, Ségolène Martin, @quentinbertrand.bsky.social Remi Emonet and I wrote a tutorial blog post on flow matching: dl.heeere.com/conditional-... with lots of illustrations and intuition! We got this idea after their cool work on improving Plug and Play with FM: arxiv.org/abs/2410.02423
Attending the Learning on Graphs conference (logconference.bsky.social) this year? Come check our introductory tutorial to building Geometric Generative Models co-delivered with Heli Ben-Hamu and Alex Tong (alextong.bsky.social) More details and forthcoming code: sites.google.com/view/ggm-log...

Huge shoutout to @alextong.bsky.social for making the awesome #TorchCFM library. Repos like this really unlocks the field and reduces entry barriers for others 😇
Thrilled to announce Boltz-1, the first open-source and commercially available model to achieve AlphaFold3-level accuracy on biomolecular structure prediction! An exciting collaboration with Jeremy, Saro, and an amazing team at MIT and Genesis Therapeutics. A thread!
