MIT EECS

It’s an exciting time to be an electrical engineer. The discipline sits at the core of some of the most profound innovations of the 21st century, such as quantum computing. Electrical engineers will be critical partners in solving the thorniest technological challenges faced by humanity: how to harness the power of AI; how to mitigate the worst effects of climate change; how to address humanity’s future in space.? ? For all these reasons, we’re thrilled to announce MIT’s new degree in electrical engineering, 6-5, "Electrical Engineering With Computing".

On Monday, November 4, please join us for two key events featuring Mona Singh, Professor of Computer Science, Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University, and Princeton postdocs and Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center postdoctoral fellows. Panel Discussion: Princeton postdocs and Schmidt Center postdoctoral fellows on “Foundation Models in Genomics” (2:45-3:30 pm) Key topics include: - Defining foundation models and their impact on genomics. - Benchmarking insights and challenges from recent studies. - Architectural innovations tailored for biological applications. Colloquium Talk: Mona Singh on "Protein Language Models: Their Power, Limitations, and Future Directions." (4:00-5:00 pm, refreshments at 3:30 pm) Find the abstract and register on our website: https://lnkd.in/eW8wnhbX The event will be held at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Yellowstone as well as virtually via YouTube Livestream: broad.io/ewsc. If you do not have a Broad badge, please show up at the 415 Main Street entrance 10 minutes early with an ID to sign in with security and to be escorted to the talk. This colloquium is part of an ongoing series jointly hosted by the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center and MIT EECS. It features speakers sharing how their work is driving novel insights into the most pressing biomedical questions of our time and how biomedical questions are spurring foundational advances in machine learning. #SchmidtCenter #BroadInstitute #MonaSingh #Princeton #Genomics #PBI #ComputationalMolecularBiology #FoundationModels #Genomics #ProteinLanguageModels #MachineLearning #ML #Algorithms #MLinBiology #MIT #EECS #ScienceNews #ScientificResearch
