SUMMARY:Olive Cawiding\, Inferring Causal Gene Regulatory Networks from Coupled Single-Cell Expression Dynamics Using Scribe
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we discuss the paper “Inferring Causal Gene Regulatory Networks from Coupled Single-Cell Expression Dynamics Using Scribe”\, by Xiaojie Qiu  et.al.\, Cell Syst. 2020. \nAbstract  \nHere\, we present Scribe (https://github.com/aristoteleo/Scribe-py)\, a toolkit for detecting and visualizing causal regulatory interactions between genes and explore the potential for single-cell experiments to power network reconstruction. Scribe employs restricted directed information to determine causality by estimating the strength of information transferred from a potential regulator to its downstream target. We apply Scribe and other leading approaches for causal network reconstruction to several types of single-cell measurements and show that there is a dramatic drop in performance for “pseudotime”-ordered single-cell data compared with true time-series data. We demonstrate that performing causal inference requires temporal coupling between measurements. We show that methods such as “RNA velocity” restore some degree of coupling through an analysis of chromaffin cell fate commitment. These analyses highlight a shortcoming in experimental and computational methods for analyzing gene regulation at single-cell resolution and suggest ways of overcoming it.

SUMMARY:Hyun Kim\, MultiK: an automated tool to determine optimal cluster numbers in single-cell RNA sequencing datamics data with TDEseq
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we discuss the paper\, “MultiK: an automated tool to determine optimal cluster numbers in single-cell RNA sequencing data” by Siyao Liu et.al.  Genome Biology\, 2024. \nAbstract  \nSingle-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides new opportunities to characterize cell populations\, typically accomplished through some type of clustering analysis. Estimation of the optimal cluster number (K) is a crucial step but often ignored. Our approach improves most current scRNA-seq cluster methods by providing an objective estimation of the number of groups using a multi-resolution perspective. MultiK is a tool for objective selection of insightful Ks and achieves high robustness through a consensus clustering approach. We demonstrate that MultiK identifies reproducible groups in scRNA-seq data\, thus providing an objective means to estimating the number of possible groups or cell-type populations present. \n

SUMMARY:Brenda Gavina\, A modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm with inertia weight
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will discuss the paper\, “A modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm with inertia weight”\, by Zhuanzhe Zhao et.al. \, Scientific Reports\, 2024. \nAbstract  \nThe shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) is a promising metaheuristic bionics algorithm\, which has been designed by the shuffled complex evolution and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) framework. However\, it is easily trapped into local optimum and has the low optimization accuracy when it is used to optimize complex engineering problems. To overcome the shortcomings\, a novel modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm (MSFLA) with inertia weight is proposed in this paper. To extend the scope of the direction and length of the updated worst frog (vector) of the original SFLA\, the inertia weight α was introduced and its meaning and range of the new parameters are fully explained. Then the convergence of the MSFLA is deeply analyzed and proved theoretically by a new dynamic equation formed by Z-transform. Finally\, we have compared the solution of the 7 benchmark functions with the original SFLA\, other improved SFLAs\, genetic algorithm\, PSO\, artificial bee colony algorithm\, and the grasshopper optimization algorithm with invasive weed optimization. The testing results showed that the modified algorithms can effectively improve the solution accuracy and convergence property\, and exhibited an excellent ability of global optimization in high-dimensional space and complex function problems.

SUMMARY:Hyungsuk Tak\, Statistical Challenges in Astronomical Time Delay Estimation (Cancelled)
DESCRIPTION:I present time delay estimation problems in astronomy as a part of time delay cosmography to infer the Hubble constant\, the current expansion rate of the Universe. Time delay cosmography is based on strong gravitational lensing\, an effect that multiple images of the same astronomical object appear in the sky because paths of the light (from the object to the Earth) are bent by the strong gravitational field of an intervening galaxy. By measuring brightness of multiply-lensed images\, we obtain several time series data of brightness\, and time delays can be inferred by modeling these data. I focus on challenges in modeling these time series data and computational issues in fitting the models. In particular\, I explain continuous-time auto-regressive models to account for stochastic variability of the time series data\, and several Monte Carlo samplers to sample from the target posterior distributions with multiple modes. At the end of the talk\, I show how these time delays estimates contribute to the Hubble constant estimation. Two main references of this talk are arXiv2207.09327 and arXiv2308.13018.
