In my PhD thesis, I developed a method and software package to infer interactions and cell states from gene expression data. Both the software and the research are now published!| Abel Jansma
Generative models, in particular energy-based models, are often used to sample from conditional distributions–a process known as inpainting. One of the most fundamental kinds of generative energy-based models is called a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), which is essentially a bipartite, glassy Ising model. Inpainting with RBMs is usually done by sampling from the visible layer while fixing the value of some visible nodes, which is an intervention, not a passive observation. I could not f...| Abel Jansma
