对话Nature子刊论文作者：DiG如何揭示蛋白质秘密
作者：科学智能中心 编者按：尽管当前利用人工智能技术预测生物分子结构的模型已经可以精确预测包括蛋白质、核酸、小分子、离子和修饰残基在内的复合物结构，但对于科学家们来说仅了解分子的微观结构还远远不够，因为分子的宏观属性和功能往往取决于分子结构在平衡态下的分布。 用于分子结构平衡分布预测的深度学习框架 Distributional Graphormer（DiG）的最新论文，近期在《自然-机器智能》（N...
重塑认知科学中的“行为”理解，提升智能体决策能力
作者：韩东起 编者按：随着科技的不断进步，人工智能与认知科学的交叉研究已成为推动科学前沿的重要力量。其中，习惯性行为与目标导向行为的相互作用是心理学、认知神经科学和人工智能等领域都十分关注的研究课题，因为从简单的日常习惯到复杂的决策制定过程，都是这两种行为模式交互的体现。为了更好地理解二者间的关系，微软亚洲研究院的研究员们通过引入贝叶斯“意图”变量，将习惯性行为与目标导向行为进行了整合，达到了计算...
