Large-Scale Differentiable Causal Discovery of Factor Graphs

Abstract

DCD-FG (Differentiable Causal Discovery for Factor Graphs) addresses the challenge of learning causal relationships among thousands of variables, a setting that arises naturally in single-cell perturbation experiments. The talk presents the method, its theoretical motivation, and applications to high-dimensional biological data.

My research interests lie at the intersection of statistics, computation and modeling of biological data. A significant part of my research is driven by building more statistically accurate and faster machine learning software for analyzing genomics data.
