**Unlocking Guidance for Discrete State-Space Diffusion and Flow Models**
Many scientific tasks, such as protein engineering and small-molecule drug discovery, can be formulated as conditional generation problems over discrete spaces. This talk introduces a new approach that enables tractable classifier and classifier-free guidance on discrete state-space diffusion and flow models. I will demonstrate how this method can be applied for conditional generation tasks in protein sequence, small-molecule graph, and DNA sequence design.
**Speaker**
Hunter Nisanoff recently graduated from his PhD in Computational Biology from UC Berkeley where he was advised by Professor Jennifer Listgarten. His research focuses on machine learning methods for protein engineering. Prior to his PhD, Hunter worked at D. E. Shaw Research developing machine learning and simulation-based methods for small-molecule drug discovery.
