Have you ever been frustrated by how hard it is to tinker with AlphaFold 3? Here's a (hopefully) simple repo to instal locally on laptop/single-GPU and a handy notebook to play around with!

Knowledge Graph Foundation Models (KGFMs) are at the frontier of graph learning - but we didn’t have a principled understanding of what we can (or can’t) do with them. Now we do! 💡🚀 🧵 with Pablo Barcelo, @ismaililkanc, @mmbronstein, @michael_galkin, @JuanLReutter, @OrthMiguel

I'm sorry for any hurt feelings for calling NeurIPS PCs clowns and pointing out an apparent domain conflict of interest. I didn't mean any PC individually or personally, but the organization and its (lack of) processes. Sadly, my sentiment was warranted - even if the phrasing might not be to everyone's liking. So, to avoid further tone policing and suggestions to remove the tweet, let me rephrase it to remove any personal mention: NeurIPS is a clown show ("a comically shambolic state of affairs"), and I'm disappointed by the unprofessional official response and the lack of seriousness at the biggest ML conference. I wonder if my takeaway and recommendations should be to take such papers as the role models they are presented as. The incentives are clear: Publish in an area with much hype and fewer knowledgable reviewers; do not worry about attribution; put all of your related work section in the appendix; if someone complains informally, always agree but never act or only to the bare minimum; always wait until after the conference (or at least after the decision notice) to address anything; and if worst comes to worst and someone complains formally, fear not because there are no good processes anyway - everybody knows each other, and there are too many other incentives for anyone to be a party pooper. The ML community has neither teeth nor an appetite for academic integrity. There are too many things that taste sweeter.

NeurIPS 2024 PCs being a bunch of clowns 🤡 the state of ML 🙄 All you get back a month after raising a concern:

5/5 Finally, a prototype implementation demonstrates the practical impact on query evaluation. Early experiments show potential for large performance gains on difficult queries in standard database systems (e.g., PostgreSQL, SparkSQL) Check it out arxiv.org/pdf/2412.11669

4/ • SHW can achieve smaller widths than HW while remaining tractable to compute, boosting efficiency. • SHW induces a hierarchy of width measures that equal generalised hypertree width in the limit.
