Over the past several years there has been a considerable research investment into learning-based approaches for tasks inspired by industrial manufacturing, but despite significant progress, these techniques have yet to be adopted in realworld.We argue that it is prohibitively large design space Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), rather than algorithmic limitations per se, are truly responsible this lack of adoption.Pushing mainstream requires paradigm which differs significantly from...
The advancement of single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has enabled the direct inference co-expressions in specific types, facilitating our understanding cell-type-specific biological functions. For this task, high sequencing depth variations and measurement errors scRNA-seq data present two significant challenges, they have not been adequately addressed by existing methods. We propose a statistical approach, CS-CORE, for estimating testing co-expressions, that explicitly models...
