• Abstract summary: Machine learning approaches are often employed to compute immunological summaries or per-sample featurizations. Current supervised learning approaches for computing per-sample representations are trained only to accurately predict a single outcome. Our introduced method CytoCoSet is a set-based encoding method for learning per-sample featurizations.

• Abstract: Single-cell technologies enable comprehensive profiling of diverse immune cell-types through the measurement of multiple genes or proteins per individual cell. In order to translate immune signatures assayed from blood or tissue into powerful diagnostics, machine learning approaches are often employed to compute immunological summaries or per-sample featurizations, which can be used as inputs to models for outcomes of interest. Current supervised learning approaches for computing per-sample representations are trained only to accurately predict a single outcome and do not take into account relevant additional clinical features or covariates that are likely to also be measured for each sample. Here, we introduce a novel approach for incorporating measured covariates in optimizing model parameters to ultimately specify per-sample encodings that accurately affect both immune signatures and additional clinical information. Our introduced method CytoCoSet is a set-based encoding method for learning per-sample featurizations, which formulates a loss function with an additional triplet term penalizing samples with similar covariates from having disparate embedding results in per-sample representations. Overall, incorporating clinical covariates enables the learning of encodings for each individual sample that ultimately improve prediction of clinical outcome.

  We propose a novel domain generalization framework, termed panCancerDR, to address this challenge. We conceptualize each cancer type as a distinct source domain, with its cell lines serving as domain-specific samples. Our empirical experiments demonstrate that panCancerDR effectively learns task-relevant features from diverse source domains.

• Combining propensity score methods with variational autoencoders for generating synthetic data in presence of latent sub-groups [0.0]
  Heterogeneity might be known, e.g., as indicated by sub-groups labels, or might be unknown and reflected only in properties of distributions, such as bimodality or skewness. We investigate how such heterogeneity can be preserved and controlled when obtaining synthetic data from variational autoencoders (VAEs), i.e., a generative deep learning technique.

  In this paper, we show how bringing recent results on equivariant representation learning instantiated on structured spaces together with simple use of classical results on causal inference provides an effective practical solution. We demonstrate how our model allows dealing with more than one nuisance variable under some assumptions and can enable analysis of pooled scientific datasets in scenarios that would otherwise entail removing a large portion of the samples.

  We develop a methodology to compute precisely the full distribution of test errors among interpolating classifiers. We find that test errors tend to concentrate around a small typical value $varepsilon*$, which deviates substantially from the test error of worst-case interpolating model. Our results show that the usual style of analysis in statistical learning theory may not be fine-grained enough to capture the good generalization performance observed in practice.
