I think there is awesome progress in youtube education channels. A good example of this is 3blue1brown where he's able to explain the intuition behind concepts that you've had to only memorize before

I've been using notebook lm to go through one or multiple papers and really enjoyed it since it does citations to the original text.

For lit review undermind has been awesome

2. Orthrus (spotlight @ AIDrugX): Contrastive learning for mRNA representations with biologically inspired augmentations

Looking forward to seeing friends and meeting new folks. Happy to chat about these mythically named methods and other ideas for cellular rep. & gen. learning!

My conclusion: We should pay attention to train/test splits, not blindly follow standard benchmarks which are often very flawed in many applied ML areas, not hype up early results. We should be more collaborative, be generous with credit, give benefit of the doubt & be less adversarial

Is it saying that most of the signal is driven by the plasmid making it into the cell?

Do you mind elaborating a bit for the less experimentally experienced?

What I understood: So the data is something like perturb seq and while it's got great replicate correlation, if you subtract the null control you get no correlation?
