I've been shocked that a theory-driven method yields practical results this good, especially on attention approximation. I proposed my best new optimizer design originally as a dumb baseline; seeing these efficiency gains from a principled approach makes me a lil insecure.

idk dude it's 30 pages of proofs and then they drop this

Off to #AAAI25! We're presenting #SatCLIP (joint work w/ Marc Rußwurm, Esther Rolf, Caleb Robinson & Lester Mackey) at the 12.30-2.30pm poster session on Friday, Feb 28! Let me know if you're around & want to chat #GeoAI!🛰️ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2311.17179 Code: github.com/microsoft/satc…

Single cell foundation models have the potential to revolutionize many areas of biology. How does the composition of training data affect the performance of these models? In my intern project Microsoft Research New England, we identify patterns that can augment next-generation models.

presenting CleaveNet: an AI pipeline for the generative design of protease substrates We designed novel, selective substrates for MMPs by conditioning on an enzyme activity profile and validated them through a large-scale in vitro screen. for protease biology and beyond! 🚀

We are pleased to announce that the Ethel Newbold Prize 2025 has been awarded to Po-Ling Loh from the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS), University of Cambridge. CONGRATULATIONS!

🎉 📷 Excited to announce our 2025 COPSS Emerging Leader Award (ELA) winners. The COPSS ELA recognizes early career statistical scientists who show evidence of and potential for leadership and who will help shape and strengthen the field.
