AutoMat: Physics-Guided Agentic Reasoning for Solving Ill-Posed Inverse Microscopy Problems

ICML 2026poster

Reconstructing atomistic crystal structures from a single noisy STEM projection is an ill-posed inverse problem: multiple lattices can explain similar contrast, and purely feed-forward models cannot verify physical validity. We present **AutoMat**, a failure-aware agentic *controller* that performs …

InertialAR: Autoregressive 3D Molecule Generation with Inertial Frames

ICML 2026poster

Transformer-based autoregressive models have emerged as a unifying paradigm across modalities such as text and images, but their extension to 3D molecule generation remains underexplored. The gap stems from two fundamental challenges: (1) how to tokenize molecules into a canonical 1D sequence of tok…

LABO: LLM-Accelerated Bayesian Optimization through Broad Exploration and Selective Experimentation

ICML 2026poster

The high cost and data scarcity in scientific exploration have motivated the use of large language models (LLMs) as knowledge-driven components in Bayesian optimization (BO). However, existing approaches typically embed LLMs directly into the sampling or surrogate modeling pipeline, without fully le…

Unleashing LLMs in Bayesian Optimization: Preference-Guided Framework for Scientific Discovery

ICLR 2026poster

Scientific discovery is increasingly constrained by costly experiments and limited budgets, making efficient optimization essential for AI for science. Bayesian Optimization (BO), while widely adopted for balancing exploration and exploitation, suffers from slow cold-start performance and poor scala…

Biology-Instructions: A Dataset and Benchmark for Multi-Omics Sequence Understanding Capability of Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in general domains, but their application to multi-omics biology remains underexplored. To address this gap, we introduce Biology-Instructions, the first large-scale instruction-tuning dataset for multi-omics biological sequences, inclu
