The PhD thesis explores the application of Geometric Deep Learning in molecular design, focusing on three pivotal research questions. It examines the expressivity of 3D representations through the Geometric Weisfeiler-Leman Test, the potential for unified generative models for both periodic and non-periodic systems using the All-atom Diffusion Transformer, and the capability of generative AI to design functional RNA, demonstrated by the development and wet-lab validation of gRNAde. This research highlights the transition from theoretical graph isomorphism challenges to practical applications in molecular biology, emphasizing the collaborative efforts between AI and biological sciences. Understanding these advancements is crucial for leveraging AI in scientific innovation and real-world applications.

Futurism AI highlights the growing gap between synthetic media generation and forensic detection, emphasizing challenges faced in real-world applications. Current academic detectors often struggle with out-of-distribution data, and three critical issues have been identified: architecture-specific artifacts, multimodal drift, and provenance shift. High-fidelity diffusion models have reduced detectable artifacts, complicating frequency-domain detection, while aligning audio and visual elements in digital humans remains challenging. The industry is shifting towards proactive provenance methods, such as watermarking, rather than relying on post-hoc detection, raising questions about the feasibility of a universal detector versus hardware-level proof of origin. This matters because it addresses the evolving challenges in detecting synthetic media, crucial for maintaining media integrity and trust.

S2ID: Scale Invariant Image Diffuser
Read Full Article: S2ID: Scale Invariant Image Diffuser![[P] S2ID: Scale Invariant Image Diffuser - trained on standard MNIST, generates 1024x1024 digits and at arbitrary aspect ratios with almost no artifacts at 6.1M parameters (Drastic code change and architectural improvement)](https://www.tweakedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/featured-article-6344-300x171.png)
The Scale Invariant Image Diffuser (S2ID) presents a novel approach to image generation that overcomes limitations of traditional diffusion architectures like UNet and DiT models, which struggle with artifacts when scaling image resolutions. S2ID leverages a unique method of treating image data as a continuous function rather than discrete pixels, allowing for the generation of clean, high-resolution images without the usual artifacts. This is achieved by using a coordinate jitter technique that generalizes the model's understanding of images, enabling it to adapt to various resolutions and aspect ratios. The model, trained on standard MNIST data, demonstrates impressive scalability and efficiency with only 6.1 million parameters, suggesting significant potential for applications in image processing and computer vision. This matters because it represents a step forward in creating more versatile and efficient image generation models that can adapt to different sizes and shapes without losing quality.

Interactive ML Paper Explainers
Read Full Article: Interactive ML Paper Explainers
Interactive explainers have been developed to help users understand foundational machine learning papers through simulations rather than just equations. These explainers cover topics such as Attention, Word2Vec, Backpropagation, and Diffusion Models, providing 2-4 interactive simulations for each. The aim is to demystify complex concepts by allowing users to engage with the material, such as building query vectors or exploring embedding spaces. The platform is built using Astro and Svelte, with simulations running client-side, and it seeks feedback on future topics like the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis and GANs. This approach enhances comprehension by focusing on the "why" behind the concepts, making advanced ML topics more accessible. Understanding these core concepts is crucial as they form the backbone of many modern AI technologies.
