The Code for Facial Identity in the Primate Brain

This paper showed that facial images can be reconstructed from a simple linear model using responses of only ~200 visual neurons recorded from a monkey. This approach uses "face cells" which are encoding how much a face differs from average in particular ways ("eigenface dimensions").

​​Weakly supervised mitosis detection in breast histopathology images using concentric loss

Weakly-supervised mitosis detection in breast histopathology images shows that only using one-click annotation can obtain the best performances on three challenging datasets.

​​(Re)Discovering Protein Structure and Function Through Language Modeling

Trained solely on unsupervised language modeling, the Transformer's attention mechanism recovers high-level structural (folding) and functional properties of proteins!

Why this is important: traditional protein modelling requires lots of computational power. This might be a key to more efficient structure modelling. Protein structure => function. Function => faster drug research and understanding of diseases mechanisms.
