A 🧵, 1/8

How to transform UMAP from a black box into a glass box: by using a special type of deep network, we can now compute exact linear equivalents that reveal which features drive each point's position in the embedding.

@taculeatus @s_r_constantin Please don't hesitate to share these and any other thoughts, questions, or ideas you may have about our work in the comments of the pub! https://t.co/3mWh08rRrT

[Austin H. Patton @AustinHPatton]

@taculeatus @s_r_constantin Traditional approaches that fail to do so are easily confounded by the evolutionary (statistical) non-independence induced by common ancestry - this is why our approach enables us to uncover these surprising instances!

It's a feature, not a bug!

I worked on a small project this weekend that bridges learning with usefulness. As mentioned in my earlier tweet, bioRxiv hosts over 311,000 manuscripts. A rapid method for identifying relevant papers would be handy.

If you want to talk more about this and are at #TAGC24, come by my poster - P921 - tomorrow, Saturday 3/9 at 8:00 PM!

[Austin H. Patton @AustinHPatton]

Calling all evolutionary biologists and phylogenomics buffs! In our recent Open Questions pub, we ask for your thoughts on how we might improve and extend NovelTree, our workflow for scalable phylogenomic inference.

Read and reply!
