Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor @bbiinnyyuu recently joined The Genetics Podcast, where she discussed her work with the Ashley group at Stanford. #BerkeleyStats
Sano Genetics@sanogenetics

🎙️Tune in to Episode 238 of #TheGeneticsPodcast 🚀 This week, we’re joined by Dr. Bin Yu, Chancellor's Distinguished Professor at UC Berkeley. Listen in to hear why linear models may not tell the whole story in genetics, how a stability-driven random forest approach revealed novel epistatic interactions in cardiomyopathy, and why predictability, computability, and stability should guide how we do data science in biology. Available here👇 🎧 eu1.hubs.ly/H0v6mK00 📽️ eu1.hubs.ly/H0v6n3t0 #Biostatistics #Genetics #MachineLearning

At the 2026 #WLS #AI Science Forum, Professor Michael I. Jordan revealed a fundamental flaw in foundation models: they are masters of the past but unreliable at the boundaries of discovery. Using AlphaFold's failure to predict protein quantum fluctuations as a case study, Jordan demonstrated how AI can produce "convincingly narrow" but factually incorrect confidence intervals. To solve this, he introduces Prediction-Powered Inference (PPI), a new statistical framework designed to ground AI predictions in empirical truth, ensuring that the next generation of automated science remains "honest".

New @UCBStatistics Research Digest In keeping with the Berkeley tradition, dating back to Neyman and our other founders, we continue to hold a very broad appreciation for what research looks like in statistics -- from applied, to methodological. mailchi.mp/c06a2d03db55/b…

Assistant Professor Alex Huth was recently quoted in a Nature article about a non-invasive AI that translates brain activity into descriptive text, accurately detailing what a person is seeing or imagining. #BerkeleyStats nature.com/articles/d4158…
