A how-to guide for code-sharing in biology

2024-01-05 · Richard J. Abdill, Emma Talarico, Laura Grieneisen

Computational biology continues to spread into new fields, becoming more accessible to researchers trained in the wet lab who are eager to take advantage of growing datasets, falling costs, and novel assays that present new opportunities for discovery even outside of the much-discussed developments in artificial intelligence. However, guidance for implementing these techniques is much easier to find than guidance for reporting their use, leaving biologists to guess which details and files are relevant. Here, we provide a set of recommendations for sharing code, with an eye toward guiding those who are comparatively new to applying open science principles to their computational work. Additionally, we review existing literature on the topic, summarize the most common tips, and evaluate the code-sharing policies of the most influential journals in biology, which occasionally encourage code-sharing but seldom require it. Taken together, we provide a user manual for biologists who seek to follow code-sharing best practices but are unsure where to start.

A Distributional Robustness Margin For Pathology Foundation Models

2026-07-28 · Clément Grisi, Jeroen van der Laak, Geert Litjens arxiv

Pathology foundation models encode non-biological variation introduced by tissue preparation, staining and scanning, enabling shortcut learning that undermines generalisation across institutions. The Robustness Index (RI…

Adaptive parameter sharing for multi-agent reinforcement learning

2023-12-14 · Dapeng Li, Na Lou, Bin Zhang, Zhiwei Xu 외

Parameter sharing, as an important technique in multi-agent systems, can effectively solve the scalability issue in large-scale agent problems. However, the effectiveness of parameter sharing largely depends on the envir…

Curbing Task Interference using Representation Similarity-Guided Multi-Task Feature Sharing

2022-08-19 · Naresh Kumar Gurulingan, Elahe Arani, Bahram Zonooz

Multi-task learning of dense prediction tasks, by sharing both the encoder and decoder, as opposed to sharing only the encoder, provides an attractive front to increase both accuracy and computational efficiency. When th…

Conventional dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs) are based on the homogeneous Markov assumption, which is too restrictive in many practical applications. Various approaches to relax the homogeneity assumption have therefore…
