Peu importe la taille : démocratiser la découverte de protéines avec l'IA
Des chercheurs de Mila ont créé un puissant modèle de langage protéique à source ouverte plus compact et efficace afin de démocratiser la découverte de protéines.
La prochaine cohorte de notre programme, conçu pour fournir aux participant·e·s une compréhension fondamentale des technologies de l'IA, se déroulera à Ottawa les 28 et 29 novembre.

How do large language models (LLMs) obtain their answers? The ability to explain and control an LLM's reasoning process is key for reliabili… (voir plus)ty, transparency, and future model developments. We propose SelfIE (Self-Interpretation of Embeddings), a framework that enables LLMs to interpret their own embeddings in natural language by leveraging their ability to respond to inquiries about a given passage. Capable of interpreting open-world concepts in the hidden embeddings, SelfIE reveals LLM internal reasoning in cases such as making ethical decisions, internalizing prompt injection, and recalling harmful knowledge. SelfIE's text descriptions on hidden embeddings also open up new avenues to control LLM reasoning. We propose Supervised Control, which allows editing open-ended concepts while only requiring gradient computation of individual layer. We extend RLHF to hidden embeddings and propose Reinforcement Control that erases harmful knowledge in LLM without supervision targets.
Masked Image Modeling (MIM) is a promising self-supervised learning approach that enables learning from unlabeled images. Despite its recent… (voir plus) success, learning good representations through MIM remains challenging because it requires predicting the right semantic content in accurate locations. For example, given an incomplete picture of a dog, we can guess that there is a tail, but we cannot determine its exact location. In this work, we propose to incorporate location uncertainty into MIM by using stochastic positional embeddings (StoP). Specifically, we condition the model on stochastic masked token positions drawn from a Gaussian distribution. StoP reduces overfitting to location features and guides the model toward learning features that are more robust to location uncertainties. Quantitatively, StoP improves downstream MIM performance on a variety of downstream tasks, including
Current state-of-the-art methods for video inpainting typically rely on optical flow or attention-based approaches to inpaint masked regions… (voir plus) by propagating visual information across frames. While such approaches have led to significant progress on standard benchmarks, they struggle with tasks that require the synthesis of novel content that is not present in other frames. In this paper we reframe video inpainting as a conditional generative modeling problem and present a framework for solving such problems with conditional video diffusion models. We highlight the advantages of using a generative approach for this task, showing that our method is capable of generating diverse, high-quality inpaintings and synthesizing new content that is spatially, temporally, and semantically consistent with the provided context.
The mammalian hippocampus contains a cognitive map that represents an animal’s position in the environment 1 and generates offline “repl… (voir plus)ay” 2,3 for the purposes of recall 4, planning 5,6, and forming long term memories 7. Recently, it’s been found that artificial neural networks trained to predict sensory inputs develop spatially tuned cells 8, aligning with predictive theories of hippocampal function 9–11. However, whether predictive learning can also account for the ability to produce offline replay is unknown. Here, we find that spatially tuned cells, which robustly emerge from all forms of predictive learning, do not guarantee the presence of a cognitive map with the ability to generate replay. Offline simulations only emerged in networks that used recurrent connections and head-direction information to predict multi-step observation sequences, which promoted the formation of a continuous attractor reflecting the geometry of the environment. These offline trajectories were able to show wake-like statistics, autonomously replay recently experienced locations, and could be directed by a virtual head direction signal. Further, we found that networks trained to make cyclical predictions of future observation sequences were able to rapidly learn a cognitive map and produced sweeping representations of future positions reminiscent of hippocampal theta sweeps 12. These results demonstrate how hippocampal-like representation and replay can emerge in neural networks engaged in predictive learning, and suggest that hippocampal theta sequences reflect a circuit that implements a data-efficient algorithm for sequential predictive learning. Together, this framework provides a unifying theory for hippocampal functions and hippocampal-inspired approaches to artificial intelligence.
Metabolism and bioenergetics in the central nervous system play important roles in the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here, … (voir plus)we employed a multimodal imaging approach to assess oxygenation changes in the spinal cord of a transgenic M83 murine model of PD in comparison to non-transgenic littermates at 9-12 months-of-age. A lower oxygen saturation (SO2)SVOT was detected in vivo with spiral volumetric optoacoustic tomography (SVOT) in the spinal cord of M83 mice compared to non-transgenic littermate mice. Ex-vivo high-field T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and immunostaining for alpha-synuclein (phospho-S129) and vascular organisation (CD31 and GLUT1) were used to investigate the nature of the abnormalities detected via in vivo imaging. Ex-vivo analysis showed that the vascular network in the spinal cord was not impaired in the spinal cord of M83 mice. Ex-vivo MRI assisted with deep learning-based automatic segmentation showed no volumetric atrophy in the spinal cord of M83 mice compared to non-transgenic littermates, whereas nuclear alpha-synuclein phosphorylated at Ser129 site could be linked to early pathology and metabolic dysfunction. The proposed and validated non-invasive high-resolution imaging tool to study oxygen saturation in the spinal cord of PD mice holds promise for assessing early changes preceding motor deficits in PD mice.
