SUMMARY:From live cell imaging to moment-based variational inference
DESCRIPTION:This talk will be presented online. Zoom link: 997 8258 4700 (pw: 1234) \nAbstract: Quantitative characterization of biomolecular networks is important for the analysis and design of network functionality. Reliable models of such networks need to account for intrinsic and extrinsic noise present in the cellular environment. Stochastic kinetic models provide a principled framework for developing quantitatively predictive tools in this scenario. Calibration of such models requires an experimental setup capable of monitoring a large number of individual cells over time\, automatic extraction of fluorescence levels for each cell and a scalable inference approach. In the first part of the talk we will cover our microfluidic setup and a deep-learning based approach to cell segmentation and data extraction. The second part will introduce moment-based variational inference as a scalable framework for approximate inference of kinetic models based on single cell data.

SUMMARY:Introduction to matrix and tensor factorization models and related stochastic nonconvex and constrained optimization algorithms
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. Matrix/tensor factorization models such as principal component analysis \, nonnegative matrix factorization\, and CANDECOM/PARAFAC tensor decomposition provide powerful framework for dimension reduction and interpretable feature extraction\, which are important in analyzing high-dimensional data that comes in large volume. Their diverse applications include image denoising and reconstruction\, dictionary learning\, topic modeling\, and network data analysis. Fitting such factorization models to training data gives rise to various nonconvex and constrained optimization algorithms. Moreover\, such models can be trained efficiently for streaming data using stochastic/online versions of such algorithms. After introducing matrix/tensor factorization models and their applications in various contexts\, we survey some well-known nonconvex constrained optimization algorithms such as block coordinate descent and projected gradient descent. We also discuss some recent developments in general stochastic optimization algorithms such as stochastic proximal gradient descent and stochastic regularized majorization-minimization and their convergence and complexity guarantees under general Markovian streaming data.

SUMMARY:Approximating Solutions of the Chemical Master Equation using Neural Networks
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Approximating Solutions of the Chemical Master Equation using Neural Networks”\, Sukys et al.\, bioRxiv\, 2022 \nAbstract: The Chemical Master Equation (CME) provides an accurate description of stochastic biochemical reaction networks in well-mixed conditions\, but it cannot be solved analytically for most systems of practical interest. While Monte Carlo methods provide a principled means to probe the system dy- namics\, their high computational cost can render the estimation of molecule number distributions and other numerical tasks infeasible due to the large number of repeated simulations typically required. In this paper we aim to leverage the representational power of neural networks to approximate the solutions of the CME and propose a framework for Neural Estimation of Stochastic Simulations for Inference and Exploration (Nessie). Our approach is based on training a neural network to learn the distributions predicted by the CME from a relatively small number of stochastic simulations\, thereby accelerating computationally intensive tasks such as parameter exploration and inference. We show on biologically relevant examples that simple neural networks with one hidden layer are able to cap- ture highly complex distributions across parameter space. We provide a detailed discussion of the neural network implementation and code for easy reproducibility.

SUMMARY:Phase Estimation of Nonlinear State-space Model of the Circadian Pacemaker Using Level Set Kalman Filter and Raw Wearable Data
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nCircadian rhythm is a robust internal 24 hours timekeeping mechanism maintained by the master circadian pacemaker Suprachiasmatic Nuclei (SCN). Numerous mathematical models have been proposed to capture SCN’s timekeeping mechanism and predict the circadian phase. There has been an increased demand for applying these models to the various unexplored data sets. One potential application is on data from commercially available wearable devices\, which provide the noninvasive measurements of physiological proxies\, such as activity and heart rate. Using these physiological proxies\, we can estimate the circadian phase of the central and peripheral circadian pacemakers. Here\, we propose a new framework for estimating the circadian phase using wearable data and the Level Set Kalman Filter on the nonlinear state-space model of the human circadian pacemaker. Analysis of over 200\,000 days of wearable data from over 3\,000 subjects using our framework successfully identified misalignment in central and peripheral pacemakers with a significantly smaller uncertainty than previous methods.

SUMMARY:Dynamical System Perspective for Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The connection between deep neural networks and ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is an active field of research in machine learning. In this talk\, we view the hidden states of a neural network as a continuous object governed by a dynamical system. The underlying vector field is written using a dictionary representation motivated by the equation discovery method. Within this framework\, we develop models for two particular machine learning tasks: time-series classification and dimension reduction. We train the parameters in the models by minimizing a loss\, which is defined using the solution to the governing ODE. To attain a regular vector field\, we introduce a regularization term measuring the mean total kinetic energy of the flow\, which is motivated by optimal transportation theory. We solve the optimization problem using a gradient-based method where the gradients are computed via the adjoint method from optimal control theory. Through various experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets\, we demonstrate the performance of the proposed models. We also interpret the learned models by visualizing the phase plots of the underlying vector field and solution trajectories.  \n

SUMMARY:Optimized persistent random walk in zebrafish airineme search process
DESCRIPTION:In addition to diffusive signals\, cells in tissue also communicate via long\, thin cellular protrusions\, such as airinemes in zebrafish. Before establishing communication\, cellular protrusions must find their target cell. In this talk\, we demonstrate that the shapes of airinemes in zebrafish are consistent with a persistent random walk model. The probability of contacting the target cell is maximized for a balance between ballistic search (straight) and diffusive search (highly curved\, random). We find that the curvature of airinemes in zebrafish\, extracted from live cell microscopy\, is approximately the same value as the optimum in the simple persistent random walk model. We also explore the ability of the target cell to infer direction of the airineme’s source\, finding that there is a theoretical trade-off between search optimality and directional information. This provides a framework to characterize the shape\, and performance objectives\, of non-canonical cellular protrusions in general.

SUMMARY:Identifying the critical states of complex diseases by the dynamic change of multivariate distribution
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Identifying the critical states of complex diseases by the dynamic change of multivariate distribution”\, Peng\, Hao\, et al.\, Briefings in Bioinformatics\, 2022. \nAbstract: The dynamics of complex diseases are not always smooth; they are occasionally abrupt\, i.e. there is a critical state transition or tipping point at which the disease undergoes a sudden qualitative shift. There are generally a few significant differences in the critical state in terms of gene expressions or other static measurements\, which may lead to the failure of traditional differential expression-based biomarkers to identify such a tipping point. In this study\, we propose a computational method\, the direct interaction network-based divergence\, to detect the critical state of complex diseases by exploiting the dynamic changes in multivariable distributions inferred from observable samples and local biomolecular direct interaction networks. Such a method is model-free and applicable to both bulk and single-cell expression data. Our approach was validated by successfully identifying the tipping point just before the occurrence of a critical transition for both a simulated data set and seven real data sets\, including those from The Cancer Genome Atlas and two single-cell RNA-sequencing data sets of cell differentiation. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses also validated the computational results from the perspectives of both molecules and networks.

SUMMARY:Deep Learning-based Uncertainty Quantification for Mathematical Models
DESCRIPTION:Over the recent years\, various methods based on deep neural networks have been developed and utilized in a wide range of scientific fields. Deep neural networks are highly suitable for analyzing time series or spatial data with complicated dependence structures\, making them particularly useful for environmental sciences and biosciences where such type of simulation model output and observations are prevalent. In this talk\, I will introduce my recent efforts in utilizing various deep learning methods for statistical analysis of mathematical simulations and observational data in those areas\, including surrogate modeling\, parameter estimation\, and long-term trend reconstruction. Various scientific application examples will also be discussed\, including ocean diffusivity estimation\, WRF-hydro calibration\, AMOC reconstruction\, and SIR calibration.

SUMMARY:Understanding How Dimension Reduction Tools Work: An Empirical Approach to Deciphering t-SNE\, UMAP\, TriMAP\, and PaCMAP for Data Visualization
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Understanding How Dimension Reduction Tools Work: An Empirical Approach to Deciphering t-SNE\, UMAP\, TriMAP\, and PaCMAP for Data Visualization”\, Wang\, Yingfan\, et al.\, J. Mach. Learn. Res.\, 2021. \nAbstract: Dimension reduction (DR) techniques such as t-SNE\, UMAP\, and TriMAP have demonstrated impressive visualization performance on many real world datasets. One tension that has always faced these methods is the trade-off between preservation of global structure and preservation of local structure: these methods can either handle one or the other\, but not both. In this work\, our main goal is to understand what aspects of DR methods are important for preserving both local and global structure: it is difficult to design a better method without a true understanding of the choices we make in our algorithms and their empirical impact on the lower-dimensional embeddings they produce. Towards the goal of local structure preservation\, we provide several useful design principles for DR loss functions based on our new understanding of the mechanisms behind successful DR methods. Towards the goal of global structure preservation\, our analysis illuminates that the choice of which components to preserve is important. We leverage these insights to design a new algorithm for DR\, called Pairwise Controlled Manifold Approximation Projection (PaCMAP)\, which preserves both local and global structure. Our work provides several unexpected insights into what design choices both to make and avoid when constructing DR algorithms.
