Tony met with Shai and developed a tentative timeline and plan for his project to implement ferminet. Peter Eastman was invited to comentor Shai and join our weekly mentor meetings.
Peter hasn’t done much this week. He is looking forward to working with Shai.
Jose has been working on the Affine transformation of his NormalizingFlow porting project, and will open a PR of this. Also, he will start conversations with Bharath and Aryan regarding GSoC.
Shai has been adding descriptions into DeepQMC tutorial and ran the tutorial on ethane(the smallest available molecule in qm9 dataset). But still got maxed out on the computations, and got suggestions to run on H2. Also, he asked some general questions on jax vs pytorch in femrinet implementation to his mentors.
Arun worked on debugging PR #2846 which adds support to Python 3.10. He mentioned that he would like to work on a tutorial for equivariance.
Anshuman was busy earlier this week. In the later half he made his PR #2911 corresponding to his ConvODE proposal. He is currently working to improve the PR.
