Colloquium Yuji Sugita: Parallel computing algorithms in molecular dynamics simulations for extremely large-scale biological systems

Online

  By Yuji Sugita, RIKEN, Theoretical Molecular Science, Japan Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nano- and biomolecules are one of the most important techniques in computational science. Protein conformational changes and protein-ligand bindings are simulated with all-atom MD simulations to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying these biological processes. Conventionally, we can perform MD simulations of a […]

Symmetric Spaces for Graph Embeddings

Online

Abstract: Learning faithful graph representations as sets of vertex embeddings has become a fundamental intermediary step in a wide range of machine learning applications. We propose the systematic use of symmetric spaces in representation learning, a class encompassing many of the previously used embedding targets. This enables us to introduce new methods for graph embeddings […]

Colloquium Eva Wolfangel: Immersive Media for Science Journalism and Science Communication

  By Eva Wolfangel, Journalist, Speaker, Moderator Immersive Media like Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality offer great possibilities for science communication and science journalism. But nevertheless journalists and communicators often fail to use this new technologies creatively and in to take advantage of the possibilities they offer. In this talk we will discover some amazing […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX joint colloquium Frank Noé: Deep Learning for Molecular Physics and Chemistry

Online

By Frank Noé, Freie Universität Berlin, Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik AI, and specifically deep ML methods have a profound impact on industry and information technology. But since recently AI methods are also changing the way we do science. In this talk I will present some of our recent efforts to build machine learning methods that […]

Colloquium Ruth Nussinov: Unraveling Oncogenic Mechanisms and their Linkage to Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Online

  By Ruth Nussinov, National Cancer Institute, Center for Cancer Research, USA Over the last few years our work has aimed to reveal oncogenic mechanisms of key oncogenic proteins in the Ras signaling network, including Ras, Raf, PI3K, PTEN, and more. We aim to understand their activation mechanisms, mutations, and signaling. During the last year […]

Data management in practice with FAIRDOM-SEEK

It has been a while since the FAIRDOM community got together to exchange ideas and share our FAIRDOM-SEEK related experiences. We’re therefore very excited to announce a new series of FAIRDOM user meetings, with the first meeting scheduled for 9th of May, 2022 at 14:00 CEST. The purpose is to establish an active FAIRDOM user […]

Colloquium Andreas Reuter: Habitual Inclination Towards Scrutiny: A Brief Reflection on How HITS Came About

Online

By Andreas Reuter Institutes can be created/established for various reasons. Universities (in Germany) do it routinely as a means of structuring their organization. Beauty parlors and private schools like to polish their image by trading under the name of „Institute of XYZ“. And then there are (a few) independent institutes that were established with a […]
