Great teaser on interpretability!

Sadly, grad student @feministbiology & I learned that not everyone knows these basic rules. THREAD: Things NOT to do when you are a senior male at a conference and a junior female trainee gives a talk: 1) Do NOT sit up front shaking your head in disagreement throughout her talk.

#PaccMann: A deep learning tool for explainable cancer drug sensitivity from IBM Research. The paper is finally out in Mol Pharm. Paper: doi.org/10.1021/acs.mo… TensorFlow: github.com/PaccMann/paccm… PyTorch: github.com/PaccMann/paccm… Try it out online: ibm.biz/paccmann-aas

Congrats to Jannis Born and all the team from IBM Research that are working on the #PaccMann project. Want to know more about it? PaccMann: doi.org/10.1021/acs.mo… PaccMannRL: arxiv.org/abs/1909.05114

We are seeking applicants for the IBM Research 2020 AI Residency program. This is a fantastic opportunity for scientists, engineers, domain experts, and entrepreneurs to work at IBM Research on bold and innovative ideas in AI. research.ibm.com/artificial-int… #IBMResearchAI

Full room at our session on interpretability in machine learning at #ODSCEurope! Matteo Manica discusses the status quo of interpretability and introduces the "depiction" python package used in the workshop: github.com/IBM/dl-interpr… IBM Research An-phi Nguyen

As deep learning becomes more accurate, transparency is sometimes lost. Right now, Matteo Manica of IBM Research is discussing the need for improved interpretability in DL models. Read his preview article here: hubs.ly/H0lVRZD0 #ODSCEurope #DataScience #DeepLearning

Our institute is looking for a new Professor of Computational Biology! Please share with your colleagues ethz.ch/en/the-eth-zur… IMSB_ETH ETH Zurich

Doing a Master program at ETH in Computer Science/Bioinformatics and interested in doing your thesis IBM Research on an exciting topic combining deep learning and biology? Matteo Manica and me are excited to meet you! To apply: zurich.ibm.com/careers/2020_0…

How does 3D genome structure affect DNA replication dynamics? Very excited to present our work with Jonas Windhager Amelia Paine in the SysMod of #ISMB2020 tomorrow at 10.40am EDT! Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Code: github.com/IBM/dna-replic…

Today the world changed forever. Why? Because a group of Artificial Intelligence researchers released something called "GPT-3". In short: it's a computer program that can interact like a ridiculously intelligent human. And it will blow your mind 👇

It is with great sadness that we share news of the passing of IBM Fellow Frances “Fran” Allen. A pioneer in the world of computing, Fran was the first female IBM Fellow and the first woman to win the Turing Award. ibm.co/2Xv9wjr

Willing to infer a network from your data, but not quite sure which method to use 🤔. COSIFER comes to the rescue: doi.org/10.1093/bioinf… Application note just published in OUP Bioinformatics from IBM Research and funded by H2020 PrECISE Project and iPC_H2020. Details in the thread.

Mind. Blown.

Black days for Greece. In the country with the worst rail network in Europe, deadly train accident kills dozens. Among the dead many students. Their friends pay their respects - officials don't send psychologists but fully armed riot police. I have no words. #τεμπη_εγκλημα

After more than 8 years at IBM Research Zurich, it's time for a new chapter: 📢 I am more than thrilled to join the University of Lausanne Université de Lausanne and the Biomedical Data Science Center at CHUV / Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois as a tenure-track Assistant Professor! 🎉
