Jerry Yao-Chieh Hu, Xiwen Zhang, Ali ElSheikh, Weimin Wu, Han Liu

ICML 2026poster

Structured \underline{S}tate-\underline{S}pace \underline{D}uality (SSD) [Dao \& Gu, ICML 2024] is an equivalence between a simple Structured \underline{S}tate-\underline{S}pace \underline{M}odel (SSM) and a masked attention mechanism. In particular, a state-space model with a scalar-times-identity …

Position: Virtual Cells Need Context, Not Just Scale

Payam Dibaeinia, Sudarshan Babu, Mei Knudson, Ali ElSheikh, Yibo Wen, Han Liu +2

ICML 2026poster

The intersection of AI and biology has entered a phase of explosive growth, driven by the ambition to build "Virtual Cells" or computational models capable of predicting cellular responses to any perturbation. Following the success of structural biology (e.g., AlphaFold) and large language models, t…
