In this talk, we discuss the paper "Large language models for scientific discovery in molecular property prediction" by Yizhen Zheng et.al., nature machine intelligence, 2025. Abstract Large language models (LLMs) are a form of artificial intelligence system encapsulating vast knowledge in the form of natural language. These systems are adept at numerous complex tasks including

In this talk, we discuss the paper "Deep learning for universal linear embeddings of nonlinear dynamics" by B. Lusch, J. N. Kutz, and S. Brunton, Nat. Comm. 2018. Abstract  Identifying coordinate transformations that make strongly nonlinear dynamics approximately linear has the potential to enable nonlinear prediction, estimation, and control using linear theory. The Koopman operator

In this talk, we discuss the paper "Direct Estimation of Parameters in ODE Models Using WENDy: Weak-Form Estimation of Nonlinear Dynamics" by David M. Bortz, Daniel A. Messenger, and Vanja Dukic, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2023. Abstract We introduce the Weak-form Estimation of Nonlinear Dynamics (WENDy) method for estimating model parameters for non-linear systems of
