This paper introduces Bayesian Flow Networks (BFNs), a new class of generative model in which the parameters of a set of independent distributions are modified with Bayesian inference in the light of noisy data samples, then passed as input…
Machine learning methods can automate the in silico design of biological sequences, aiming to reduce costs and accelerate medical research. Given the limited access to wet labs, in silico design methods commonly use an oracle model to…
Representation learning and \emph{de novo} generation of proteins are pivotal computational biology tasks. Whilst natural language processing (NLP) techniques have proven highly effective for protein sequence modelling, structure modelling…
A typical machine learning (ML) development cycle for edge computing is to maximise the performance during model training and then minimise the memory/area footprint of the trained model for deployment on edge devices targeting CPUs, GPUs,…
Evolutionary computation is an important component within various fields such as artificial intelligence research, reinforcement learning, robotics, industrial automation and/or optimization, engineering design, etc. Considering the…
With the goal of designing novel inhibitors for SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, we propose the general molecule optimization framework, Molecular Neural Assay Search (MONAS), consisting of three components: a property predictor which identifies…
We introduce the concept of Semantic Neutral Drift (SND) for genetic programming (GP), where we exploit equivalence laws to design semantics preserving mutations guaranteed to preserve individuals' fitness scores. A number of digital…
In 2016, 2017, and 2018 at the IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence in Games, the authors of this paper ran a competition for agents that can play classic text-based adventure games. This competition fills a gap in existing game AI…
Users buy compatible IOT devices from different brands with an expectation that their cooperation is smooth, but while function may superficially look friendly, cohabitation can subversively cause early battery depletion in competitor…
