An exact method to compute a $p$-value for the beyond-pairwise correlations among cancer gene mutations
The increasing observation of mutual exclusivity correlations among cancer gene mutations is a key component for identifying driver events or pathways in cancer genome analysis. Here we report a rigorous statistical method to compute an exact $p$-value for the beyond-pairwise mutual exclusivity or co-occurrence relationships among cancer gene mutations by enumerating a null distribution of overlapping mutations across more than two genes. The validity and the advantage of our method is explicitly demonstrated in both cancer gene mutations and simulation data through the comparison to the permutation test.

Input nonlinearities can shape beyond-pairwise correlations and improve information transmission by neural populations
While recent recordings from neural populations show beyond-pairwise, or higher-order correlations (HOC), we have little understanding of how HOC arise from network interactions and of how they impact encoded information…
Boltzmann Attention: Learnable Ising Couplings for Cooperative Attention
Attention mechanisms are central to modern sequence models, yet standard attention computes relevance primarily through individual query--key similarities. Although softmax normalization introduces competition among posi…
When do Correlations Increase with Firing Rate?
A central question in neuroscience is to understand how noisy firing patterns are used to transmit information. Because neural spiking is noisy, spiking patterns are often quantified via pairwise correlations, or the pro…
Deep Sequence Modeling with Quantum Dynamics: Language as a Wave Function
We introduce a sequence modeling framework in which the latent state is a complex-valued wave function evolving on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space under a learned, time-dependent Hamiltonian. Unlike standard recurrent…
Zero-Shot Out-of-Distribution Detection with Feature Correlations
When presented with Out-of-Distribution (OOD) examples, deep neural networks yield confident, incorrect predictions. Detecting OOD examples is challenging, and the potential risks are high. In this paper, we propose to d…
