- vikramkr 7y agoIt's a great word. You'll see it all over the place in AI aided drug design and tons of other places as well
- npwr 7y agoFinally a tangible publication on the matter! I was astounded by Michael Levin's presentation at NeurIPS in 2018. I did not understand was no press outlet mentionned it. This is a breakthrough discovery that will enable the creation of whole new classes of technology and medicine!
