Announcing our next talk with NYU Professor @_romain_lopez_: "Learning from Millions of Cells with Deep Generative Models" Registration: eventbrite.com/e/ml-nyc-speak…

Hypothesis testing 🤝 mechanistic interpretability

I am on the academic job market this year! My research advances probabilistic machine learning and its application to biology. I'm looking for faculty positions in stats/CS/applied math and in bio departments. Academic website: eweinstein.github.io

Check out our new paper using hierarchical causal models and representation learning to estimate the effects of immune proteins

New paper from @blei_lab member @EliWeinstein6 on manufacturing samples from generative protein models. The idea is to approximate a complex distribution with simpler ones that are easy to sample from in the real world, using stochastic chemical reactions.x.com/EliWeinstein6/…
