I built a new Python CLI tool for scanning folders for secret strings, useful if you want to share a bunch of log files but first want to check they didn't accidentally leak API keys or similar. Run this command to learn more:

uvx scan-for-secrets --help

NSF Comes to SC24 With Money Map, AI Blueprint You’d be forgiven for thinking the annual Supercomputing Conference (SC24) was a global AI-specific event this year. From the show floor to a sizable

High performance computing or highly-prioritizing AI? The NSF talk at #SC24 gave a nod to infrastructure needs for HPC but with an eye on how those are used for building next-gen AI for sci and industry. www.nextplatform.com/2024/11/22/n...

Materials and Chemistry | AI Alliance We aim to curate datasets, tasks and benchmarks for materials science, build out foundation models in chemistry for prediction of properties, experimental outcomes or generation of new candidates and ...

And if you'd like to contribute or use these models, join our working group.

We're still starting up, so expect some rough edges but we've got a few really exciting projects lined up!

GitHub - IBM/materials: Foundation Model for Materials - FM4M Foundation Model for Materials - FM4M. Contribute to IBM/materials development by creating an account on GitHub.

If you're interested in foundation models for materials and molecules, check out our repo: github.com/IBM/materials

We have three models released based on SMILES, SELFIES and molecular graphs.

More to come shortly - we aim to have a unified collection of state-of art models across all modalities.

ULLER: A Unified Language for Learning and Reasoning The field of neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence (NeSy), which combines learning and reasoning, has recently experienced significant growth. There now are a wide variety of NeSy frameworks, each wi...

My amazing collaborators @sbadredd.bsky.social and @e-giunchiglia.bsky.social have landed!
We're working on a Python library for accessible Neurosymbolic Learning called ULLER, that we plan to release soon.

About alt text for new Blueskyers:

In settings turn on "require alt text" under "accessibility." Then, whenever you post a photo, just add a short description of the photo. For people with low vision or who are blind, alt text is read by their screen reader, so they know what the image is. 🤩

A novel agent architecture that simulates the attitudes and behaviors of 1,052 real individuals 85% accurately --applying LLMs to qualitative interviews about their lives, then measuring how well these agents replicate the attitudes and behaviors of the individuals that they represent.

Looking forward to PyData Global 2024 (online) !!
I'll be presenting:

I'm glad to see this grand vision gaining steam. It has been years in the making--or decades, if you see it as an evolution of grid computing, TeraGrid, etc.
