Methods and systems for performing a sequence of machine learning tasks. One system includes a sequence of deep neural networks (DNNs), including: a first DNN corresponding to a first machine learning task, wherein the first DNN comprises a first plurality of indexed layers, and each layer in the first plurality of indexed layers is configured to receive a respective layer input and process the layer input to generate a respective layer output; and one or more subsequent DNNs corresponding to one or more respective machine learning tasks, wherein each subsequent DNN comprises a respective plurality of indexed layers, and each layer in a respective plurality of indexed layers with index greater than one receives input from a preceding layer of the respective subsequent DNN, and one or more preceding layers of respective preceding DNNs, wherein a preceding layer is a layer whose index is one less than the current index.

Progressive neural networks

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing protein structure prediction. In one aspect, a method comprises, at each of one or more iterations: determining an alternative predicted structure of a given protein defined by alternative values of structure parameters; processing, using a geometry neural network, a network input comprising: (i) a representation of a sequence of amino acid residues in the given protein, and (ii) the alternative values of the structure parameters, to generate an output characterizing an alternative geometry score that is an estimate of a similarity measure between the alternative predicted structure and the actual structure of the given protein.

Predicting protein structures using geometry neural networks that estimate similarity between predicted protein structures and actual protein structures

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing protein structure prediction. In one aspect, a method comprises generating a distance map for a given protein, wherein the given protein is defined by a sequence of amino acid residues arranged in a structure, wherein the distance map characterizes estimated distances between the amino acid residues in the structure, comprising: generating a plurality of distance map crops, wherein each distance map crop characterizes estimated distances between (i) amino acid residues in each of one or more respective first positions in the sequence and (ii) amino acid residues in each of one or more respective second positions in the sequence in the structure of the protein, wherein the first positions are a proper subset of the sequence; and generating the distance map for the given protein using the plurality of distance map crops.

Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for predicting one or more properties of a material. One of the methods includes maintaining data specifying a set of known materials each having a respective known physical structure; receiving data specifying a new material; identifying a plurality of known materials in the set of known materials that are similar to the new material; determining a predicted embedding of the new material from at least respective embeddings corresponding to each of the similar known materials; and processing the predicted embedding of the new material using an experimental prediction neural network to predict one or more properties of the new material.

Predicting properties of materials from physical material structures

A method is proposed for training a multitask computer system, such as a multitask neural network system. The system comprises a set of trainable workers and a shared module. The trainable workers and shared module are trained on a plurality of different tasks, such that each worker learns to perform a corresponding one of the tasks according to a respective task policy, and said shared policy network learns a multitask policy which represents common behavior for the tasks. The coordinated training is performed by optimizing an objective function comprising, for each task: a reward term indicative of an expected reward earned by a worker in performing the corresponding task according to the task policy; and at least one entropy term which regularizes the distribution of the task policy towards the distribution of the multitask policy.
