    In this talk, I will provide an overview of research on developing AI methods to understand the natural world from the subatomic (wavefunctions and electron density), atomic (molecules, proteins, materials, and interactions), to macro (fluids, climate) scales. My talk will focus on how to capture symmetries in physical systems using equivariant models. I will also touch on a few other...

    Abstract: Large pre-trained language models (LLMs) have been shown to have significant potential in few-shot learning across various fields, even with minimal training data. However, their ability to generalize to unseen tasks in more complex fields, such as biology, has yet to be fully evaluated. LLMs can offer a promising alternative approach for biological inference, particularly in cases...

    There is an increasing consensus in the wider scientific community that AI is poised to disrupt science by unlocking entirely new approaches, driving new scientific inquiry, and enabling greater scientific leaps with far-reaching societal consequences. In addition, challenges unique to scientific problems offer an opportunity to dramatically advance AI. However, there are substantial barriers...

    The vast amount of knowledge accumulated in various science disciplines has been traditionally maintained in a way that is difficult for AI systems to use, due to differences in formats, standards, and types. This makes it challenging to integrate and share knowledge across different domains and to use it to build intelligent systems. To address these challenges, there is a pressing need to...
