Changing training data alone can improve deep learning prediction of spatial transcriptomics gene expression from histology images by 38% (without any changes to model architecture). We've updated our preprint showing this with expanded results: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵👇 1/4

Did you know that networks trained with different learning rates extract different features (and a different number of them!) from the data? Come by our poster at HiLD Workshop #ICML2024 tomorrow to discuss it with @irsadrtdinov! Paper: openreview.net/forum?id=IID2… 1/6

A student told me, "I don't get the difference between model fitting by: 1. minimum Mean Square Error (MSE) and 2. Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE)" To help this student, I built out this #Python @matplotlib dashboard for fitting a Gaussian parametric distribution to data while calculating & visualizing the training data MSE and likelihood! Many students have found this helpful, so I shared it on #GitHub @ github.com/GeostatsGuy/DataS… ∀. #DataScience

finally finished the antibody ML primer post if you are in the protein ML field, not in antibody ML, and would like to understand antibody ML bit more, you’re my ideal audience! abhishaike.com/2024/04/15/a-… 🧵 🧵 🧵 – at Queens, NY

Eigenvalues of random matrices with iid entries converge to the Wigner circle law. This is universal (does not depend on the law of the entries), as proved by Tao and Vu in 2010. For Gaussian matrices, this defines a determinental point process. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circul…

Read about how the @DevermanLab has brought biologists and computer scientists together to rethink experiments to make the best use of machine learning. The lab came up with results that could accelerate the development of better gene therapies. broad.io/DevermanFeature

Three years ago, I started working on an easy-to-use tool for interpretable machine learning in science. I wanted it to do for symbolic regression what Theano did for deep learning. Today, I am beyond excited to share with you the paper describing it! arxiv.org/abs/2305.01582 1.

People should pay considerably more attention to this simple fact.
Replying to @ylecun
It’s weird how the people who who are terrified of AGI are rarely the people who actually build AI models

Our new preprint: Using synthetic biology we answer the question, why does one transcription factor binding site act differently in different contexts? Check out our surprisingly simple model of regulatory DNA. Great work by Kai Lowell and @rfriedman22! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
