I’ll be at the Psi-k conference next week! Let’s chat about ML potentials, uncertainty quantification (ensemble-free, gradient-based: Laplace approx., NTKs, batch selection, …), uncertainty-biased MD, message-passing architectures, particle-mesh long-range methods, etc.

🚨 New preprint: How well do universal ML potentials perform in biomolecular simulations under realistic conditions? There's growing excitement around ML potentials trained on large datasets. But do they deliver in simulations of biomolecular systems? It’s not so clear. 🧵 1/

📈My first PhD paper just reached 100 citations, which is a small but very special milestone for me! Our paper introduces Gaussian moments as molecular descriptors and uses them to build ML potentials with an impressive balance between accuracy and computational efficiency.

Neural surrogates can accelerate PDE solving but need expensive ground-truth training data. Can we reduce the training data size with active learning (AL)? In our NeurIPS D3S3 poster, we introduce AL4PDE, an extensible AL benchmark for autoregressive neural PDE solvers. 🧵

📣 Can we go beyond state-of-the-art message-passing models based on spherical tensors such as #MACE and #NequIP? Our #NeurIPS2024 paper explores higher-rank irreducible Cartesian tensors to design equivariant #MLIPs. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.14253 Code: github.com/nec-research...

My take: Folks from deep learning (I am guilty too): super excited about methods, modelling, make it look mathy, our number is bold in the table that everyone re-uses for 5 years... Downstream users of tools in drug discovery: Oh god - is that how you evaluated? *Surprised Pikachu meme*

@dereklowe.bsky.social honing in on the same bottom line message from @wpwalters.bsky.social @prof-ajay-jain.bsky.social it's so true and hits so hard:
