• Abstract: Single-particle traces of the diffusive motion of molecules, cells, or animals are by-now routinely measured, similar to stochastic records of stock prices or weather data. Deciphering the stochastic mechanism behind the recorded dynamics is vital in understanding the observed systems. Typically, the task is to decipher the exact type of diffusion and/or to determine system parameters. The tools used in this endeavor are currently revolutionized by modern machine-learning techniques. In this Perspective we provide an overview over recently introduced methods in machine-learning for diffusive time series, most notably, those successfully competing in the Anomalous-Diffusion-Challenge. As such methods are often criticized for their lack of interpretability, we focus on means to include uncertainty estimates and feature-based approaches, both improving interpretability and providing concrete insight into the learning process of the machine. We expand the discussion by examining predictions on different out-of-distribution data. We also comment on expected future developments.

  We introduce a repeated learning process to jointly describe several phenomena attributed to unintended hidden feedback loops. A distinctive feature of such repeated learning setting is that the state of the environment becomes causally dependent on the learner itself over time. We present a novel dynamical systems model of the repeated learning process and prove the limiting set of probability distributions for positive and negative feedback loop modes.

We propose a counterfactual method that learns a perturbation in a disentangled latent space that is constrained using a diversity-enforcing loss. Our model improves the success rate of producing high-quality valuable explanations when compared to previous state-of-the-art methods.

We show that a properly constructed contrastive learning task can be used to estimate the transition kernel for small-to-mid-range intervals in the diffusion case.
