The first (of many, I hope!) challenges articles is finally out! Really excited to be able to provide this service to the #machinelearning community. If you're organizing #hackathons, #MLcompetitions, or similar, please reach out! @iopp-mlresearch.bsky.social #MachineLearningSeries

🚨Challenges article alert!🚨

In this paper, Zhang, Wang and coworkers describe the #OpenLAMChallenges, competitions designed to benchmark #machinelearning methods and accelerate ML-driven discovery. Read the #MachineLearningScienceandTechnology article here: bit.ly/3TTlZtP 1/2

Figure 1 from the article text. The caption reads: Schematic illustration of the three-phase validation and evaluation pipeline for crystal structure submissions in LAM Crystal Philately: pre-submission validation, random sampling quality check, and final evaluation with LAM-based energy calculations. The process includes: (1) an optional pre-submission phase, where original structures can be optimized using LAM to improve submission validity; (2) a sampling phase for quality checking the submissions; and (3) a final evaluation phase, where deduplication, scoring, and database ingestion take place.

Frank Noe @franknoe.bsky.social · 14d

Thank you UW–Madison for this great honor! In 2016 I changed my group to AI4Science and went all-in on deep learning solutions for the molecular sciences. Best decision of my career in hindsight. Amazing what's become of that field - now AI for Science is a @msftresearch.bsky.social lab.

Microsoft Research @msftresearch.bsky.social · 15d

Congratulations to Frank Noé, Partner Research Manager at Microsoft Research AI for Science, who received the 2025–2026 Joseph O. Hirschfelder Prize in Theoretical Chemistry for pioneering contributions at the interface of AI and chemistry. msft.it/6015sqq4R

Is scale all you need? Or is there still a role for incorporating domain knowledge and inductive bias? While I was in Heidelberg, I took some time to write a short essay on this question called "The Bittersweet Lesson".

Good luck! I do share the surprise: It definitely requires some creativity! Some sort of prepared piano, perhaps?

I had a Kobo when I moved to the US (couldn’t bring all my physical books with me), but then I fell back into the trap of secondhand bookstores.

You’re saying that this book that cost 40$ new is now 0.50$? Don’t mind if I do, said as he is sitting on a pile of books rather than on a chair 🫣

I couldn't have said it better myself. Plus, having a ton of books I haven't read yet keeps me motivated to read even more

Pierpaolo Morgante (He/His) @piermorgante.bsky.social · 19d

Reading books and buying books are two separate hobbies #facts (My partner and I are in the same situation. Should we start a support group for partners?)
