See you @iclr_conf , poster session 2, April 23rd in the afternoon
"On the stability of gradient descent with second order dynamics for time-varying cost functions"
"Learning ecosystem-scale dynamics from microbiome data with MDSINE2"
We have also included two of the densest longitudinal microbiome studies to date with "humanized" mice (healthy and UC human donor). 76 sample per mouse over 65 days. 16S and qPCR

Updated our pre-print: Strain tracking with uncertainty quantification
Better benchmarking- strains are mutated before including them in the database, comparator method added, real dataset added that has WGS isolates, and model improvements.
Take a look

“Microbial dynamics inference at ecosystem-scale” - just revised
We have provided both a (Bayesian) model and, as a resource to the community, the most densely sampled microbiome time series to date (that we are aware of) with “humanized” mice
