I‘m at ICML this week and we’re presenting Diamond Maps at Hall A #2713 today at 2pm @electronickale, @zeynepakata, @peholderrieth!
Also, feel free to DM if you wanna chat about diffusion/flows/reward alignment/etc.
✨Tomorrow's the day! Excited to present this work with @LucaEyring at ICML in HALL A #2711 at 10:30 am✨ If you're interested in extracting knowledge from vision transformers for downstream tasks, come by! Looking forward to great discussions and new research ideas.
Why you should probe more than just the final layer of your Vision Transformer to maximize performance. 🧵👇
7/ Huge thanks to my shared first author, Marco Morik, and all great co-authors:
@lukas_thede, @LucaEyring, Shinichi Nakajima, @zeynepakata, and @lukas_mut 🙏
Large thanks for the vital support: @bifoldberlin, @HFA_academy, @uni_tue, Tübingen AI Center, @HelmholtzMunich, @MunichCenterML, and @AIgnostics. We couldn't have done it without this ecosystem🚀
🎉 Update: This work got accepted to #icml2025!!
Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors @LorenzLinhardt, Marco Morik, @jdppel, @skornblith, and @lukas_mut for their great work and to all collaborators! 🙏

1/🚀 Excited to share RegVelo, our new computational model combining RNA velocity with gene regulatory network (GRN) dynamics to model cellular changes and predict in silico perturbations. Here's how it works and why it matters! 🧵👇

🚀 New preprint from our lab, @ekrym2 and @fabian_theis : UniversalEPI, an attention-based method to predict enhancer-promoter interactions from DNA sequence and ATAC-seq🌟
🔬 Key Highlights:
- Predicts chromatin interactions across unseen cell types with no retraining.
- Outperforms state-of-the-art models like C.Origami and ChromaFold with Spearman’s Rho > 0.92 in unseen cell types.
- Tracks chromatin dynamics in processes like macrophage reprogramming and cancer transcriptional states.
- Scalable for both bulk and single-cell chromatin accessibility data.
🧬UseUniversalEPI for in-silico 3D chromatin modeling in your favorite model! Examples of applications: studies on genetic diseases, cell differentiation, and the regulatory impacts of non-coding variants.

1/ 🧬 Single-cell genomics reveals biological variations beyond cell types. Unveiling these in separate latent dimensions is known as disentanglement. Led by @AmirAliMoinfar, we introduce DRVI to learn nonlinear, disentangled & interpretable latent spaces.

❓ Do histopathological foundation models eliminate batch effects? ❓
The surprisingly clear answer is: they do not!
Find out more in our new paper that we will present at the AIM-FM Workshop at @NeurIPSConf.

If two models are more similar to each other than a third on ImageNet, will this hold for medical/ satellite images? Our preprint analyzes how vision model similarities generalize across datasets, the factors that influence them, and their link to downstream task behavior. 🧵1/7
2nd key insight: The link between model similarity & behavior varies by dataset. Single-domain sets show strong correlations, while some multi-domain ones have high-performing, dissimilar models. Thus, the Platonic Representation Hypothesis may depend on the dataset's nature. 6/7

Deeply grateful to @LorenzLinhardt, Marco Morik, @jdppel, @skornblith, and @lukas_mut for their rigorous work and dedication throughout this project. Each contribution was essential to make this possible! 🙏 7/7
