Low-rank recurrent neural networks (lrRNNs) are a class of models that uncover low-dimensional latent dynamics underlying neural population activity. Although their functional connectivity is low-rank, it lacks independence interpretations, making it difficult to assign distinct computational roles …
Computational pathology has made progress in diagnosis and prognosis prediction from whole slide images (WSIs), yet pipelines still rely on patch-level feature extraction and aggregation, departing from the cell-centric reasoning used by pathologists. This gap limits sensitivity to micro-lesions and…
Real-time, high-fidelity monocular depth estimation from remote sensing imagery is crucial for numerous applications, yet existing methods face a stark trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. Although using Vision Transformer (ViT) backbones for dense prediction is fast, they often exhibit poor p
Understanding how neural populations in higher visual areas encode object-centered visual information remains a central challenge in computational neuroscience. Prior works have investigated representational alignment between artificial neural networks and the visual cortex. Nevertheless, these find…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems show remarkable potential as question answering tools in the K-12 Education domain, where knowledge is typically queried within the restricted scope of authoritative textbooks. However, discrepancies between these textbooks and the parametric knowledge in…
Pathology image segmentation plays a pivotal role in artificial digital pathology diagnosis and treatment. Existing approaches to pathology image segmentation are hindered by labor-intensive annotation processes and limited accuracy in tail-class identification, primarily due to the long-tail distri…
Understanding and constructing brain communications that capture dynamic communications across multiple regions is fundamental to modern system neuroscience, yet current methods struggle to find time-varying region-level communications or scale to large neural datasets with long recording durations.…
The partially observable generalized linear model (POGLM) is a powerful tool for understanding neural connectivities under the assumption of existing hidden neurons. With spike trains only recorded from visible neurons, existing works use variational inference to learn POGLM meanwhile presenting the…
Understanding the neural basis of behavior is a fundamental goal in neuroscience. Current research in large-scale neuro-behavioral data analysis often relies on decoding models, which quantify behavioral information in neural data but lack details on behavior encoding. This raises an intriguing scie…
Maximizing the marginal log-likelihood is a crucial aspect of learning latent variable models, and variational inference (VI) stands as the commonly adopted method. However, VI can encounter challenges in achieving a high marginal log-likelihood when dealing with complicated posterior distributions.…
Studying the complex interactions between different brain regions is crucial in neuroscience. Various statistical methods have explored the latent communication across multiple brain regions. Two main categories are the Gaussian Process (GP) and Linear Dynamical System (LDS), each with unique streng…
Neural sequence detection plays a vital role in neuroscience research. Recent impressive works utilize convolutive nonnegative matrix factorization and Neyman-Scott process to solve this problem. However, they still face two limitations. Firstly, they accommodate the entire dataset into memory and p…
