SUMMARY:Language model-guided anticipation and discovery of unknown metabolites
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Skinnider\, Princeton University \n\n\n\nLunch is available beginning at 12 PM \n\n\n\nSpeaker to begin promptly at 12:30 PM \n\n\n\nAbstract: Despite decades of study\, large parts of the human metabolome remain unexplored. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics routinely detects thousands of unidentified small molecules within human tissues and biofluids\, but structure elucidation of novel metabolites remains a low-throughput endeavour. Here\, we present an approach that leverages chemical language models to discover previously uncharacterized metabolites. We introduce DeepMet\, a language model that learns the latent biosynthetic logic embedded within the chemical structures of known metabolites and exploits this understanding to anticipate the existence of as-of-yet undiscovered metabolites. Prospective synthesis of metabolites predicted to exist by DeepMet directs their targeted discovery. Integrating DeepMet with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data enables automated metabolite discovery within complex tissues. We demonstrate the potential for language models to accelerate the mapping of the metabolome by harnessinging DeepMet to discover several dozen mammalian metabolites.

SUMMARY:Art by Humans and Machines
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Campus Point Connection\, where Larry O’Gorman of Nokia Bell Labs will consider how art and technology fuse to create interactive experiences. \n\n\n\nO’Gorman will trace the evolution of tech-enhanced artworks by examining the histories of video\, audio\, biometrics and machine learning. Expect to hear about Bell Labs’ earliest collaborations with visionaries like Robert Rauschenberg and Merce Cunningham to today’s cutting-edge creations. \n\n\n\nGateway South: Room 216 \n\n\n\nABSTRACT \n\n\n\nIn the last decade\, the art and theater worlds have increasingly endeavored to create immersive experiences for their audiences. In many cases\, this entails the use of cameras and other sensors\, combined with recognition techniques so audience input can modify the artwork. Recent machine learning advancements have also increased artists’ enthusiasm for creating technology-enhanced artworks. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Larry O’Gorman of Nokia Bell Labs will discuss interactive methodologies using patterns from video\, audio\, biometrics\, and machine learning. O’Gorman will also show a sampling of the interactive artworks starting with the Experiments in Art and Technology that involved New York artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Merce Cunningham working with Bell Labs engineers in the 1960s\, and up to present day.

SUMMARY:Princeton Symposium on Safe Deployment of Foundation Models in Robotics
DESCRIPTION:Foundation models such as large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) have showcased remarkable capabilities in areas like commonsense reasoning\, planning\, and physical understanding. These advancements have paved the way for applying such models in robotics\, enabling them to perceive their environment\, generate and evaluate potential plans\, and even command low-level actions. However\, the integration of foundation models in robotics also raises significant challenges\, particularly around ensuring the safety and alignment of robotic systems given the black-box nature of these models. This symposium brings together leading experts from both academia and industry to explore the opportunities and challenges of safely incorporating foundation models into robotic systems.
