An Optimal Likelihood Free Method for Biological Model Selection
Systems biology seeks to create math models of biological systems to reduce inherent biological complexity and provide predictions for applications such as therapeutic development. However, it remains a challenge to determine which math model is correct and how to arrive optimally at the answer. We present an algorithm for automated biological model selection using mathematical models of systems biology and likelihood free inference methods. Our algorithm shows improved performance in arriving at correct models without a priori information over conventional heuristics used in experimental biology and random search. This method shows promise to accelerate biological basic science and drug discovery.

Optimal Design of Experiments for Simulation-Based Inference of Mechanistic Acyclic Biological Networks
Biological signaling pathways based upon proteins binding to one another to relay a signal for genetic expression, such as the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling pathway, can be modeled by mass action kinetics an…
Fast Model Selection and Stable Optimization for Softmax-Gated Multinomial-Logistic Mixture of Experts Models
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures combine specialized predictors through a learned gate and are effective across regression and classification, but for classification with softmax multinomial-logistic gating, rigoro…
