[HTML][HTML] Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

J Jumper, R Evans, A Pritzel, T Green, M Figurnov… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Proteins are essential to life, and understanding their structure can facilitate a mechanistic
understanding of their function. Through an enormous experimental effort 1, 2, 3, 4, the …

Continuous control with deep reinforcement learning

TP Lillicrap, JJ Hunt, A Pritzel, N Heess, T Erez… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2015 - arxiv.org
We adapt the ideas underlying the success of Deep Q-Learning to the continuous action
domain. We present an actor-critic, model-free algorithm based on the deterministic policy …

[HTML][HTML] Highly accurate protein structure prediction for the human proteome

…, GJ Kleywegt, A Bateman, R Evans, A Pritzel… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Protein structures can provide invaluable information, both for reasoning about biological
processes and for enabling interventions such as structure-based drug development or …

Accurate proteome-wide missense variant effect prediction with AlphaMissense

…, J Pan, C Bycroft, A Žemgulytė, T Applebaum, A Pritzel… - Science, 2023 - science.org
The vast majority of missense variants observed in the human genome are of unknown
clinical significance. We present AlphaMissense, an adaptation of AlphaFold fine-tuned on …

Learning skillful medium-range global weather forecasting

…, S Hoyer, G Holland, O Vinyals, J Stott, A Pritzel… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Global medium-range weather forecasting is critical to decision-making across many social
and economic domains. Traditional numerical weather prediction uses increased compute …

Simple and scalable predictive uncertainty estimation using deep ensembles

B Lakshminarayanan, A Pritzel… - Advances in neural …, 2017 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Deep neural networks (NNs) are powerful black box predictors that have recently achieved
impressive performance on a wide spectrum of tasks. Quantifying predictive uncertainty in …

Protein complex prediction with AlphaFold-Multimer

R Evans, M O'Neill, A Pritzel, N Antropova, A Senior… - biorxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
While the vast majority of well-structured single protein chains can now be predicted to high
accuracy due to the recent AlphaFold [ 1 ] model, the prediction of multi-chain protein …

On ghosts in theories of self-interacting massive spin-2 particles

S Folkerts, A Pritzel, N Wintergerst - arXiv preprint arXiv:1107.3157, 2011 - arxiv.org
We consider general theories of a massive spin-2 particle $h_{\mu\nu}$ on a Minkowski
background. A decomposition of $h_{\mu\nu}$ in terms of helicity eigenstates allows us to …

Deep exploration via bootstrapped DQN

I Osband, C Blundell, A Pritzel… - Advances in neural …, 2016 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Efficient exploration remains a major challenge for reinforcement learning (RL). Common
dithering strategies for exploration, such as epsilon-greedy, do not carry out temporally-…

Pathnet: Evolution channels gradient descent in super neural networks

…, C Blundell, Y Zwols, D Ha, AA Rusu, A Pritzel… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2017 - arxiv.org
For artificial general intelligence (AGI) it would be efficient if multiple users trained the same
giant neural network, permitting parameter reuse, without catastrophic forgetting. PathNet is …
