Flow-Based Density Ratio Estimation for Intractable Distributions with Applications in Genomics

ICML 2026poster

Estimating density ratios between pairs of intractable data distributions is a core problem in probabilistic modeling, enabling principled comparisons of sample likelihoods under different data-generating processes across conditions and covariates. While exact-likelihood models such as normalizing f…

Enforcing Latent Euclidean Geometry in Single-Cell VAEs for Manifold Interpolation

ICML 2025spotlight

Latent space interpolations are a powerful tool for navigating deep generative models in applied settings. An example is single-cell RNA sequencing, where existing methods model cellular state transitions as latent space interpolations with variational autoencoders, often assuming linear shifts and…

Modeling Microenvironment Trajectories on Spatial Transcriptomics with NicheFlow

NeurIPS 2025poster

Understanding the evolution of cellular microenvironments in spatiotemporal data is essential for deciphering tissue development and disease progression. While experimental techniques like spatial transcriptomics now enable high-resolution mapping of tissue organization across space and time, curren…

Multi-Modal and Multi-Attribute Generation of Single Cells with CFGen

ICLR 2025poster

Generative modeling of single-cell RNA-seq data is crucial for tasks like trajectory inference, batch effect removal, and simulation of realistic cellular data. However, recent deep generative models simulating synthetic single cells from noise operate on pre-processed continuous gene expression app…

Mixed Models with Multiple Instance Learning

AISTATS 2024poster

Predicting patient features from single-cell data can help identify cellular states implicated in health and disease. Linear models and average cell type expressions are typically favored for this task for their efficiency and robustness, but they overlook the rich cell heterogeneity inherent in sin…
