Sep 2023
- PI Dr. Zhang is awarded another NSF grant (1.5 million US dollars) for the research project of Exploiting Federal Data and Beyond: A Multi-modal Knowledge Network for Comprehensive Wildlife Management under Climate Change.
- Do you know what LLMs models can do in chemistry? Check our recent paper accepted by NeurIPS 2023 Datasets and Benchmarks track. It offers an extensive benchmark across eight varied tasks, and delves into the potential and constraints of LLMs in addressing chemical tasks. Congratulations to Taicheng and Kehan for spearheading this pivotal work!
