Hi all. First post on here. In case you don’t know me, I’ve been in #machinelearning for a while (trained my first #neural networks in 1999, but they were rubbish!) now focused on #compBio applications (mainly #proteinengineering ), but also interests in #bayesian statistics, #PrivacyEnhancingTechnologies and #continuallearning . Currently leading a fantastic team of scientists and engineers at Amazon. Slightly sad at the demise of Twitter, hoping #mastodon can fill the hole it left!
@tommydacat super interesting to hear that Amazon is involved in life sciences research! are you able to share anything about what Amazon's goals are by being in this space?
@april can’t say too much as you might expect. High level is that Amazon has a lot of biotech/biopharma customers, and one of the best ways to understand our customers’ needs is to have our own initiatives.
