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).
	07/2020: OATomobile: A research framework for autonomous driving (Angelos Filos, Panagiotis Tigas).
	07/2020: Slurm for Machine Learning (Joost van Amersfoort).
