Publications

We do research in both theoretical machine learning, as well as applications of machine learning in various domains, including medical, astronomy, autonomous driving, and more.

Recent publications:

	05/2022: "Tranception: protein fitness prediction with autoregressive transformers and inference-time retrieval" (Pascal Notin, Mafalda Dias, Jonathan Frazer, Javier Marchena-Hurtado, Aidan Gomez, Debora Marks, Yarin Gal).
	05/2022: "Mask wearing in community settings reduces SARS-CoV-2 transmission" (Gavin Leech, Charlie Rogers-Smith, Joshua Teperowsky Monrad, Jonas B. Sandbrink, Benedict Snodin, Robert Zinkov, Benjamin Rader, John S. Brownstein, Yarin Gal, Samir Bhatt, Mrinank Sharma, Sören Mindermann, Jan Brauner, Laurence Aitchinson).
	05/2022: "RITA: a Study on Scaling Up Generative Protein Sequence Models" (Daniel Hesslow, Niccoló Zanichelli, Pascal Notin, Iacopo Poli, Debora Marks).

Reproducibility and Code

One of our lab's missions is to contribute to the reproducibility effort. Here we provide code for our own research, as well as reproductions of works by others (e.g. ones we implemented as baselines as part of our own research).

Recent code release:

	05/2022: Tranception: protein fitness prediction with autoregressive transformers and inference-time retrieval (Pascal Notin).
	12/2021: Improving black-box optimization in VAE latent space using decoder uncertainty (Pascal Notin).
	11/2021: Disease variant prediction with deep generative models of evolutionary data (Pascal Notin).
