Fashionable Modelling with Flux
Machine learning as a discipline has seen an incredible surge of interest in recent years due in large part to a perfect storm of new theory, superior tooling, renewed interest in its capabilities. We present in this paper a framework named Flux that shows how further refinement of the core ideas of machine learning, built upon the foundation of the Julia programming language, can yield an environment that is simple, easily modifiable, and performant. We detail the fundamental principles of Flux as a framework for differentiable programming, give examples of models that are implemented within Flux to display many of the language and framework-level features that contribute to its ease of use and high productivity, display internal compiler techniques used to enable the acceleration and performance that lies at the heart of Flux, and finally give an overview of the larger ecosystem that Flux fits inside of.

CarbonSense: A Multimodal Dataset and Baseline for Carbon Flux Modelling
Terrestrial carbon fluxes provide vital information about our biosphere's health and its capacity to absorb anthropogenic CO$_2$ emissions. The importance of predicting carbon fluxes has led to the emerging field of data…
Multimodal Deep LearningImplication of modelling choices on connectivity estimation: A comparative analysis
We focus on connectivity methods used to understand and predict how landscapes and habitats facilitate or impede the movement and dispersal of species. Our objective is to compare the implication of methodological choice…

The metabolic fluxes in cells follow physical, biochemical, and economic principles. Some flux balance analysis (FBA) methods trade flux benefit against flux cost. However, if flux cost functions are linear and meant to …
Flux-dependent graphs for metabolic networks
Cells adapt their metabolic fluxes in response to changes in the environment. We present a framework for the systematic construction of flux-based graphs derived from organism-wide metabolic networks. Our graphs encode t…
