We explore a data-driven approach for learning to optimize neural networks. We construct a dataset of neural network checkpoints and train a generative model on the parameters. In particular, our model is a conditional diffusion transformer…
A proof tableau of Hoare logic is an annotated program with pre- and post-conditions, which corresponds to an inference tree of Hoare logic. In this paper, we show that a proof tableau for partial correctness can be transformed into an…
Reconstruction of gene regulatory networks is the process of identifying gene dependency from gene expression profile through some computation techniques. In our human body, though all cells pose similar genetic material but the activation…
The solution of high-dimensional inference and prediction problems in computational biology is almost always a compromise between mathematical theory and practical constraints such as limited computational resources. As time progresses,…
Partial incorrectness logic (partial reverse Hoare logic) has recently been introduced as a new Hoare-style logic that over-approximates the weakest pre-conditions of a program and a post-condition. It is expected to verify systems where…
Biological structure and function depend on complex regulatory interactions between many genes. A wealth of gene expression data is available from high-throughput genome-wide measurement technologies, but effective gene regulatory network…
A default theory can be characterized by its sets of plausible conclusions, called its extensions. But, due to the theoretical complexity of Default Logic (Sigma_2p-complete), the problem of finding such an extension is very difficult if…

Many biological systems approach physical limits to their performance, motivating the idea that their behavior and underlying mechanisms could be determined by such optimality. Nevertheless, optimization as a predictive principle has only…
