Great place to do your PhD, nice set of prospective PhD advisors -- highly recommend MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)!

The fantastic Machine Learning in CompBio #MLCB2024 papers are up at proceedings.mlr.press/v261/ (thanks Neil Lawrence !) Reminder that all the talks are available on our yt channel youtube.com/@mlcbconf. Please RT!

Highly recommend this position! Details about the doctoral network here: danio-recode.eu

Absolutely recommend this if you are looking for a quality doctoral programme in computational biology in India!

We are hiring! We are looking for a candidate with expertise in bioinformatics, computational biology or Data science to work on a ICMR-funded project involving cancer genomics data analysis and build stat models for biomarker discovery. More info here: ncbs.res.in/jobportal/onli…

Thanks for sharing with examples of these edge cases. This is so relatable. Have been facing similar issues, and datalab/marker has been among one of our preferred tools!

Finally get an opportunity to hear Vidita Vaidya live at the Global Scientific Conference IIT Bombay !!

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

Absolutely blown away by the talk! Such interesting science, so well presented - I just fall in love with science again and again!

Concur with this thought. Mind you, it's not easy, but the other way around is way more difficult (I think). Both require rewiring your neurons. With just applying, it would be very difficult to come up w/ new/adapted solutions when methods don't work directly off-the-shelf!

Ha! This was a prank! Formatting the manuscript as per any journal's requirements must ideally be the journal's headache. That journals now at least accept non-custom formatted articles directly from biorxiv is a good retrofix. More publishing houses should allow this.

Nice! This actually tests most of the skills for any candidate.

Debian 😇😇

I kind of concur here -- he stood by their decision of asking such a pitch and did not blame the curator. The Indian batting lineup seriously failed, and hence the result.

Giving a talk on "AI Evals – Rethinking Correctness for Programs When LLMs Are Involved" at MCCIA, Pune, on 30th Nov, at the OAISYS AI Practitioners Conference. Here's the abstract: If you incorporate Gen AI/LLMs in a software product, writing the program is the easy part.

This has also been my observation: - You don't need a PhD to do (good) research. - It is fair to assume and expect that someone with a PhD can do research - There are always exceptions

When people use vibe coding, the quality of the code is generally better with many good practices often followed, all delivered at speed. These are good wins to have.

Nice word play! 😜 Google Sundar Pichai

Totally relate to this as a pure ML/tech person (bothered about accuracy numbers) moving on to working interdisciplinary where understanding the input and making sense of the output beyond the accuracies is an equally, or more, important pursuit!
