Set-Aggregated Genome Embeddings for Microbiome Abundance Prediction
Younhun Kim, Georg K. Gerber, Travis E. Gibson
Microbiome functions are encoded within the genes of the community-wide metagenome. A natural question is whether properties of a microbial community can be predicted just from kno…

Travis E. Gibson
There are a number of errors in "mbtransfer: Microbiome intervention analysis using transfer functions and mirror statistics" PLOS Comp Bio (2024) spanning multiple aspects of the…
On the stability of gradient descent with second order dynamics for time-varying cost functions
Travis E. Gibson, Sawal Acharya, Anjali Parashar +2
Gradient based optimization algorithms deployed in Machine Learning (ML) applications are often analyzed and compared by their convergence rates or regret bounds. While these rates…
Regret Analysis: a control perspective
Travis E. Gibson, Sawal Acharya
Online learning and model reference adaptive control have many interesting intersections. One area where they differ however is in how the algorithms are analyzed and what objectiv…
