Episode notes
Protein Attachment and AI
- COVID-19 antibodies attaching to virus spike proteins illustrate protein binding's importance.
- AI accelerates drug and vaccine development by quickly predicting protein interactions.
3D Graphs for Protein Structures
- This protein-attaching model uses 3D graphs of protein structures, processed by a neural network.
- This reflects the growing trend of using graph-structured data in AI.
Data2vec: Multi-Modality Embeddings
- Meta AI's data2vec creates vector representations from various data types (images, speech, text).
- This contrasts with single-modality models and may improve performance across modalities.
