Count Bridges enable Modeling and Deconvolving Transcriptomic Data

ICLR 2026poster

Many modern biological assays, including RNA sequencing, yield integer-valued counts that reflect the number of molecules detected. These measurements are often not at the desired resolution: while the unit of interest is typically a single cell, many measurement technologies produce counts aggregat…

Generative Distribution Embeddings

NeurIPS 2025poster

Many real-world problems require reasoning across multiple scales, demanding models which operate not on single data points, but on entire distributions. We introduce generative distribution embeddings (GDE), a framework that lifts autoencoders to the space of distributions. In GDEs, an encoder acts…

The Fragility of Fairness: Causal Sensitivity Analysis for Fair Machine Learning

NeurIPS 2024poster

Fairness metrics are a core tool in the fair machine learning literature (FairML), used to determine that ML models are, in some sense, “fair.” Real-world data, however, are typically plagued by various measurement biases and other violated assumptions, which can render fairness assessments meaningl…

Metropolis Sampling for Constrained Diffusion Models

NeurIPS 2023poster

Denoising diffusion models have recently emerged as the predominant paradigm for generative modelling on image domains. In addition, their extension to Riemannian manifolds has facilitated a range of applications across the natural sciences. While many of these problems stand to benefit from the abi…
