Excited to announce our paper, SHAP zero, has been accepted into NeurIPS 2025! SHAP zero takes the first steps toward extracting biological insights at scale from machine learning models by amortizing the cost of explanations across large-scale biological datasets.

Sparse Autoencoders for Low-$N$ Protein Function Prediction and Design
Predicting protein function from amino acid sequence remains a central challenge in data-scarce (low-$N$) regimes, limiting machine learning-guided protein design when only small amounts of assay-labe...

Research involves day science and night science, requiring you to become good at both. Day science proceeds in logical steps and specializes in hypothesis testing, but to generate new ideas we pop out to the creative night science world, where leaps among ideas are made possible.
A great conclusion to my Generative and Geometric AI class at GT with several interesting projects and posters. #GenAI
Great read on ruggedness of protein fitness landscapes
dealing with the ruggedness of protein fitness landscapes is perhaps the most challenging aspect of protein design and engineering - here we have written a short perspective about it - it's complicated and not perfectly understood but very interesting! arxiv.org/abs/2411.12957

I must admit that this annotated Nature abstract remains a useful recipe for constructing a summary paragraph. I show it to my students every time we get started.

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics
Action Intent Links | Bluesky
Authors, websites, and apps can use action intent links to implement "Share on Bluesky" buttons, or similar in-app actions. Logged-in users will be directed to the corresponding action view in the Blu...

This pack is now up to 67 people, broadly in AI and advanced data for science. Follow along, and forward me others who should be there! 🦋🦋 go.bsky.app/JeFdryY
I'm looking forward to engaging on #chemsky. Missed #chemtwitter!
