Biographie

Guy Wolf est professeur agrégé au Département de mathématiques et de statistique de l'Université de Montréal. Ses intérêts de recherche se situent au carrefour de l'apprentissage automatique, de la science des données et des mathématiques appliquées. Il s'intéresse particulièrement aux méthodes d'exploration de données qui utilisent l'apprentissage multiple et l'apprentissage géométrique profond, ainsi qu'aux applications pour l'analyse exploratoire des données biomédicales.

Ses recherches portent sur l'analyse exploratoire des données, avec des applications en bio-informatique. Ses approches sont multidisciplinaires et combinent l'apprentissage automatique, le traitement du signal et les outils mathématiques appliqués. En particulier, ses travaux récents utilisent une combinaison de géométries de diffusion et d'apprentissage profond pour trouver des modèles émergents, des dynamiques et des structures dans les mégadonnées à grande dimension (par exemple, dans la génomique et la protéomique de la cellule unique).

GraIP: A Benchmarking Framework For Neural Graph Inverse Problems

A wide range of graph learning tasks, such as structure discovery, temporal graph analysis, and combinatorial optimization, focus on inferri… (voir plus)ng graph structures from data, rather than making predictions on given graphs. However, the respective methods to solve such problems are often developed in an isolated, task-specific manner and thus lack a unifying theoretical foundation. Here, we provide a stepping stone towards the formation of such a foundation and further development by introducing the Neural Graph Inverse Problem (GraIP) conceptual framework, which formalizes and reframes a broad class of graph learning tasks as inverse problems. Unlike discriminative approaches that directly predict target variables from given graph inputs, the GraIP paradigm addresses inverse problems, i.e., it relies on observational data and aims to recover the underlying graph structure by reversing the forward process, such as message passing or network dynamics, that produced the observed outputs. We demonstrate the versatility of GraIP across various graph learning tasks, including rewiring, causal discovery, and neural relational inference. We also propose benchmark datasets and metrics for each GraIP domain considered, and characterize and empirically evaluate existing baseline methods used to solve them. Overall, our unifying perspective bridges seemingly disparate applications and provides a principled approach to structural learning in constrained and combinatorial settings while encouraging cross-pollination of existing methods across graph inverse problems.

Retro SynFlow: Discrete Flow Matching for Accurate and Diverse Single-Step Retrosynthesis

A fundamental problem in organic chemistry is identifying and predicting the series of reactions that synthesize a desired target product mo… (voir plus)lecule. Due to the combinatorial nature of the chemical search space, single-step reactant prediction -- i.e. single-step retrosynthesis -- remains challenging even for existing state-of-the-art template-free generative approaches to produce an accurate yet diverse set of feasible reactions. In this paper, we model single-step retrosynthesis planning and introduce RETRO SYNFLOW (RSF) a discrete flow-matching framework that builds a Markov bridge between the prescribed target product molecule and the reactant molecule. In contrast to past approaches, RSF employs a reaction center identification step to produce intermediate structures known as synthons as a more informative source distribution for the discrete flow. To further enhance diversity and feasibility of generated samples, we employ Feynman-Kac steering with Sequential Monte Carlo based resampling to steer promising generations at inference using a new reward oracle that relies on a forward-synthesis model. Empirically, we demonstrate \nameshort achieves

Large collections of high-dimensional data have become nearly ubiquitous across many academic fields and application domains, ranging from b… (voir plus)iology to the humanities. Since working directly with high-dimensional data poses challenges, the demand for algorithms that create low-dimensional representations, or embeddings, for data visualization, exploration, and analysis is now greater than ever. In recent years, numerous embedding algorithms have been developed, and their usage has become widespread in research and industry. This surge of interest has resulted in a large and fragmented research field that faces technical challenges alongside fundamental debates, and it has left practitioners without clear guidance on how to effectively employ existing methods. Aiming to increase coherence and facilitate future work, in this review we provide a detailed and critical overview of recent developments, derive a list of best practices for creating and using low-dimensional embeddings, evaluate popular approaches on a variety of datasets, and discuss the remaining challenges and open problems in the field.
