Two new-ish arrivals to Hilbert Lab. Annika Nassal, BSc student in computer science, started a joint assistant position w @MikutRalf group. David Klein, now transitioned officially into Master thesis status-also joint w Mikut group! Both work on AI for pseudo-time inference.🍾

🚀 @helmholtz_en has launched the Helmholtz Foundation Model Initiative (#HFMI) harnessing #AI & #FoundationModels. Submit proposals by March 15. Save the dates: ▪️ Info event on 8/2, 11 am (CET) ▪️ Match-making event on 15/2, 10 am (CET) More information⬇️

Closing out this summer in strong form, you can now also find this post-peer-review publication in @eLife "Synchronization of oscillatory growth prepares fungal hyphae for fusion" elifesciences.org/articles/83310 Really fun collaboration, bringing coupled oscillator theory into action!

I've probably been the only person who's not shared views on ChatGPT in research writing on this platform; so here are some ground rules for their use from us at @nature - key message: no LLM tool will be accepted as a credited author on a research paper nature.com/articles/d4158…

Our first paper of 2023! Vojtěch Kumpošt taking a dive into how splitting cellular oscillators into smaller units can increase their phase resetting capacity. Colab with @MikutRalf group, now out in JRS Interface 🥳 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

@fabian_theis @dfg_public @HelmholtzMunich @TU_Muenchen Congrats 🥂

Deeply honored & excited to receive @dfg_public’s #Leibniz award 2023! I am continually amazed by the incredible individuals I have the privilege of working with, from my lab to colleagues @HelmholtzMunich, @TU_Muenchen & beyond. Big thanks to them, and most of all to my family!

#AI can consume lots of #energy during its training, limiting its applications ⚡ Find new ways to make #DeepLearning energy efficient with us in our #Hackathon this December! Register now 👉 bit.ly/3rxzlOk

New preprint: "Synchronization of oscillatory growth prepares fungal hyphae for fusion". We assist Valentin Wernet of Reinhard Fischer lab @KITKarlsruhe to assess how multi-component oscillations transition from self-talk to a dialog between hyphae. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How to automate the design process of time series forecasting models? ⚙️ 📈 🧠 Read this review by @MikutRalf in #WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery to find out: buff.ly/3UxPIYw #forecasting #automl #TimeSeries #openaccess

IHRS BioSoft, BIF-IGS, @hidss4health, and Helmholtz Imaging offer the lecture series “Imaging - From Organisms to Molecules”. It aims at Ph.D. students and introduces imaging methods from human to protein scales. Further information and free registration: events.hifis.net/event/367/

New preprint "Noise facilitates entrainment of a population of uncoupled limit cycle oscillators". We find that noise increases sensitivity to weak signals & speeds adjustment to jet lag. Second strike from Vojtěch Kumpošt, co-supervised w/ @MikutRalf biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Time series forecasting is fundamental for many domains such as energy systems and economics. Our new preprint analyzes automated time series forecasting pipelines incl. #machinelearning to show how to automate the design. Supported by @helmholtz_ai. arxiv.org/abs/2202.01712

This is the end of the pandemic: • Vaccines reduce deaths by 90% • Omicron kills 90% less • Treatments save 90% of ppl These 3 reduce COVID fatality rates by 99.9% And after Omicron, most ppl will have some sort of immunity. It's time to change our behavior Details:

We're now accepting applications for our school's fourth year! 7 fully funded PhD positions are available in 2022. @KITKarlsruhe @DKFZ @UniHeidelberg for candidates who want to be the next leaders in #AI and #DataScience for healthcare. Application deadline is February 6th 2022!

New data from Imperial is fascinating Full report here (imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-inf…) but key points: ➡️15-20% less likely to need hosp care with omicron v delta ➡️if you’ve had covid before, 50-60% less likely ➡️BUT risk of hosp same for delta & omicron if you’ve had just 2 vax

I haven't done any sort of looking into what it would mean, but I have been vaguely thinking that post-Omicron wave we need to basically say "OK, Covid is just around now forever and we just cope with it, with drugs and vaccines not NPIs." This thread supports that case, I think.
