Dear Colleague,

Come view our recent webinars on the Large Language Models in biotechnology and medicine:

• View recording of our webinar “Realising the Promise of Foundation Models in Healthcare” (June 20^th) presented by Dr. Jason Fries from Stanford University Centre for Biomedical Informatics Research. Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have captured the imagination of machine learning practitioners with impressive tech demos. In this talk Dr. Fries discussed opportunities and challenges of LLMs in medicine with an emphasis on evaluation and benchmarking of these tools. This was the first webinar in the series of two events on LLMs in June 2023.
  
  
• View recording of our webinar “The Application of Large Language Models in Life Science R&D” (June 28^th). This webinar aims to explore the application of large language models in life science R&D from different perspectives, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the topic and its potential implications for the industry. Our speakers were Helena Deus, Biomedical Semantics Lead, ZS Associates; Anthony Rowe, Head of Technology, Global Scientific IT, Janssen Pharmaceutical; and Carlos Outeiral, EPSRC Research Associate, Oxford Protein Informatics Group & Stipendiary Lecturer in Biochemistry, St Peter’s College, University of Oxford. This was the second webinar in the series of two events on LLMs in June 2023.

• Have a look at these recent publications on AI:
  • Let's build GPT: from scratch, in code, spelled out (video – caution: this is really building a variant of GPT in code in front of your eyes, 2 hours long)
  • GPT-4 with chemistry capabilities with Chemcrow (video)
  • Critical evaluation of ChatGPT-4: “ChatGPT: Jack of all trades, master of none” points to somewhat inflated expectations of this natural text generator
  • The US NIH is prohibiting use of ChatGPT in review of grant application materials
  • Healthcare Products Collaborative GMLP team paper on the data quality in AI
  • Knowledge graph embedding for profiling the interaction between transcription factors and their target genes
  • Our member company Elucidata comment on the Large Language Models in drug discovery
  • News bit: AI-discovered drug enters Phase II trials (June 28^th 2023)
  • FDA on AI in drug manufacturing: link 1, link 2
  • A deep learning solution for crystallographic structure determination
  • Artificial intelligence and medical research databases: ethical review by data access committees
  • Optical Diffractive Convolutional Neural Networks Implemented in an All-Optical Way

As always, please get in touch.
