Graph ML News (July 30th) - ICML and Open Catalyst Demo

The ICML week has finally passed with yesterdays’ workshops. Meeting the graph learning community was a blast and I am looking forward seeing you guys and gals at NeurIPS or already in Vienna at the next ICLR and ICML. The review post of most interesting graph papers at ICML is on the way 😉

Meanwhile, Meta AI and CMU released the Open Catalyst Demo - a website where you can play around with relaxations (DFT approximations) of 11.5k catalyst materials on 86 adsorbates in 100 different configurations each (making it up to 100M combinations). The demo is powered by SOTA geometric models GemNet-OC and Equiformer-V2. Hopefully the demo will grow up to something as large and popular as AlphaFold DB (but for materials)!

The GAIN community in Germany hosts the Workshop on Explainability and Applicability of Graph Neural Networks to be held in Kassel on September 6-8th. The workshop will feature invited talks by Christopher Morris, Soledad Villar, Petar Veličković, and Emanuele Rossi.
