Living systems continuously transform matter and energy through the chemical processes that constitute their metabolism. The overall metabolic rate of an organism correlates positively with its body mass, however both the exact scaling…
Predicting structural and energetic properties of a molecular system is one of the fundamental tasks in molecular simulations, and it has use cases in chemistry, biology, and medicine. In the past decade, the advent of machine learning…
Multi-lingual language models (LM), such as mBERT, XLM-R, mT5, mBART, have been remarkably successful in enabling natural language tasks in low-resource languages through cross-lingual transfer from high-resource ones. In this work, we try…
Link prediction aims to identify potential missing triples in knowledge graphs. To get better results, some recent studies have introduced multimodal information to link prediction. However, these methods utilize multimodal information…
Metabolic heterogeneity is widely recognised as the next challenge in our understanding of non-genetic variation. A growing body of evidence suggests that metabolic heterogeneity may result from the inherent stochasticity of intracellular…
Most existing methods focus on sentiment analysis of textual data. However, recently there has been a massive use of images and videos on social platforms, motivating sentiment analysis from other modalities. Current studies show that…

Modern multilingual models are trained on concatenated text from multiple languages in hopes of conferring benefits to each (positive transfer), with the most pronounced benefits accruing to low-resource languages. However, recent work has…
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics has long been an area of substantial interest to ecologists because most fundamental biological processes, such as protein synthesis and respiration, are inherently energy-consuming. Microbial communities are…
This paper focuses on data arising from the field of metabolomics, a rapidly developing area concerned by the analysis of the chemical fingerprints (i.e. the metabolite profile). The metabolite profile is left by specific chemical processes…
Isotopically non-stationary metabolic flux analysis (INST $^{13}$C-MFA) provides unique insights into cellular physiology but is typically limited by low throughput and high experimental costs. Here, we present a miniaturized and automated…
Metabolomic data can potentially enable accurate, non-invasive and low-cost prediction of coronary artery disease. Regression-based analytical approaches however might fail to fully account for interactions between metabolites, rely on a…
Transferability estimation has emerged as an important problem in transfer learning. A transferability estimation method takes as inputs a set of pre-trained models and decides which pre-trained model can deliver the best transfer learning…
Decentralized collaborative learning under data heterogeneity and privacy constraints has rapidly advanced. However, existing solutions like federated learning, ensembles, and transfer learning, often fail to adequately serve the unique…
