BioMap will be attending the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) 2024 in Vienna from July 21st-26th. 🇦🇹 We’re looking forward to coming together with academic and industry peers to explore the latest advancements in machine learning and AI. 💡   During the ‘AI for Science - Scaling in AI for Scientific Discovery’ workshop on Friday 26 Jul, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. CEST, BioMap’s CTO Le Song will be presenting our latest research on “Training Compute-Optimal Protein Language Models”. This research, which involved extensive training of over 300 models, has yielded significant insights into the relationship between model size, training data, and performance.   The study introduces a novel approach to address the issue of overfitting and performance plateaus in PLMs by utilizing a vast dataset of 194 billion unique tokens from 939 million protein sequences. It reveals distinct scaling laws for both masked language modelling (MLM) and causal language modelling (CLM), demonstrating the effectiveness of transferring knowledge from CLM to MLM through scaling behaviours.   ✅ Sign up for the workshop here: https://lnkd.in/gcAfyWnW   #MachineLearning #ML #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Science #Technology #Innovation #BioMap #ICML [ICML] Int'l Conference on Machine Learning

High-performing protein prediction models can potentially enable more accurate, efficient, and innovative drug development workflows💊💉 While AlphaFold3 is often considered to be the industry performance benchmark, a new comparison study has demonstrated that there are alternative approaches to the application of AI in protein design that can yield equally impressive or even superior performance. The study compared xTrimoDock, the antibody docking prediction model from BioMap, to Google DeepMind’s new AlphaFold 3. Preliminary results have shown that xTrimo outperforms AlphaFold 3 in its accuracy in predicting the structure and binding of selected proteins, including antibodies and other biotherapeutics, with their targets ⚙️🧬 Contact us to learn more.
