Open Science
Open Science is an open-source, local-first, model-agnostic research
Open Science is an open-source, local-first AI research workbench built for scientific discovery on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Researchers can describe a task in plain language and let an agent inspect files, execute Python or R, search the web, and call scientific data connectors. The system is model-agnostic, allowing users to connect supported providers, compatible gateways, or subscription-based backends. It produces reproducible reports, tables, figures, and other artifacts inside a unified project workspace. Users can inspect tool activity, approve sensitive actions, branch earlier conversations, and compare alternative research paths without losing prior work. Immutable artifact versions and detailed provenance connect results to code, inputs, execution history, environment evidence, conversation context, and review findings. -

DIG
A library for graph deep learning research
The key difference with current graph deep learning libraries, such as PyTorch Geometric (PyG) and Deep Graph Library (DGL), is that, while PyG and DGL support basic graph deep learning operations, DIG provides a unified testbed for higher level, research-oriented graph deep learning tasks, such as graph generation, self-supervised learning, explainability, 3D graphs, and graph out-of-distribution. If you are working or plan to work on research in graph deep learning, DIG enables you to develop your own methods within our extensible framework, and compare with current baseline methods using common datasets and evaluation metrics without extra efforts. It includes unified implementations of data interfaces, common algorithms, and evaluation metrics for several advanced tasks. Our goal is to enable researchers to easily implement and benchmark algorithms. -

covid19model
Code for modelling estimated deaths and cases for COVID19
Code for modeling estimated deaths and infections for COVID-19 from "Estimating the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 in Europe", Flaxman, Mishra, Gandy et al, Nature, 2020, the published version of our original Report 13. This is the release related to our Tiers paper, where we use the latent factor model to estimate the effectiveness of tiers systems in England. Peer-reviewed version is to be out soon. All other code is still the same for previous releases. The code should be run in full mode to obtain credible results. Not running a full run to estimate anything is not recommended and discouraged. Only a full run should be used to get results. -
