• Abstract: Sequence modelling approaches for epigenetic profile prediction have recently expanded in terms of sequence length, model size, and profile diversity. However, current models cannot infer on many experimentally feasible tissue and assay pairs due to poor usage of contextual information, limiting $\textit{in silico}$ understanding of regulatory genomics. We demonstrate that strong correlation can be achieved across a large range of experimental conditions by integrating tissue and assay embeddings into a Contextualised Genomic Network (CGN). In contrast to previous approaches, we enhance long-range sequence embeddings with contextual information in the input space, rather than expanding the output space. We exhibit the efficacy of our approach across a broad set of epigenetic profiles and provide the first insights into the effect of genetic variants on epigenetic sequence model training. Our general approach to context integration exceeds state of the art in multiple settings while employing a more rigorous validation procedure.

  The gamma belief network (GBN) has demonstrated its potential for uncovering multi-layer interpretable latent representations in text data. We introduce the generalized gamma belief network (Generalized GBN) in this paper, which extends the original linear generative model to a more expressive non-linear generative model. We also propose an upward-downward Weibull inference network to approximate the posterior distribution of the latent variables.

  Epigenetic aging clocks play a pivotal role in estimating an individual's biological age through the examination of DNA methylation patterns. We introduce a novel U-sampling approach via multi-sublearning for making ensemble predictions. More specifically, our approach conceptualizes the ensemble estimators within the framework of generalized U-statistics. We apply our approach to two commonly used predictive algorithms, Lasso and deep neural networks (DNNs), and illustrate the validity of inferences with extensive numerical studies.

  Recent datasets expose the lack of the systematic generalization ability in standard sequence-to-sequence models. We analyze this behavior of seq2seq models and identify two contributing factors: a lack of mutual exclusivity bias and the tendency to memorize whole examples. We show substantial empirical improvements using standard sequence-to-sequence models on two widely-used compositionality datasets.
