• Title: Learning optimal integration of spatial and temporal information in noisy chemotaxis
• Authors: Albert Alonso and Julius B. Kirkegaard
• Abstract summary: We investigate the boundary between chemotaxis driven by spatial estimation of gradients and chemotaxis driven by temporal estimation. We parameterize a combined chemotactic policy by a recurrent neural network and evaluate it using a minimal theoretical model of a chemotactic cell. We find that the transition between the regimes is continuous, with the combined strategy outperforming in the transition region.

• Abstract: We investigate the boundary between chemotaxis driven by spatial estimation of gradients and chemotaxis driven by temporal estimation. While it is well known that spatial chemotaxis becomes disadvantageous for small organisms at high noise levels, it is unclear whether there is a discontinuous switch of optimal strategies or a continuous transition exists. Here, we employ deep reinforcement learning to study the possible integration of spatial and temporal information in an a priori unconstrained manner. We parameterize such a combined chemotactic policy by a recurrent neural network and evaluate it using a minimal theoretical model of a chemotactic cell. By comparing with constrained variants of the policy, we show that it converges to purely temporal and spatial strategies at small and large cell sizes, respectively. We find that the transition between the regimes is continuous, with the combined strategy outperforming in the transition region both the constrained variants as well as models that explicitly integrate spatial and temporal information. Finally, by utilizing the attribution method of integrated gradients, we show that the policy relies on a non-trivial combination of spatially and temporally derived gradient information in a ratio that varies dynamically during the chemotactic trajectories.

  patio-temporal point process (STPP) is a collection of events accompanied with time and space. The failure to model the joint distribution leads to limited capacities in characterizing the pasthua-temporal interactions given events. We propose a novel parameterization framework, which learns complex spatial-temporal joint distributions. Our framework outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines remarkably, with an average improvement over 50%.
