Reinforcement learning (RL) remains surprisingly brittle to contextual variations in tasks. Our new method (NeurIPS 2024) for solving contextual RL problems achieves 5-50x better sample efficiency on standard & traffic benchmarks.

“The skills I have learned are truly transformative. I can now analyze and extract insights from any data flow,” says Berthy Buah, Regional STMIE Coordinator at Ghana Education Service and a proud alumna of the Data Science and Machine Learning Program. Despite having no prior background in statistics or coding, Berthy successfully completed the program and is now committed to becoming a leading Data Scientist.

Our three-part machine learning challenge is live and the instructions and dataset for Crunch 1 have been released! Join now: broad.io/MLC-2024 To learn more about the biology, technology, and data backgrounds needed to participate in the competition, watch our lecture series: broad.io/MLC-2024-Lectures We need computational approaches to connect pathology images and spatial genomics measurements. You will develop algorithms that use the images of a tissue collected by a pathologist to infer the high-resolution view of tissue visible in spatial genomics: the cells and genes driving disease. We will use your models to predict genes that are markers of potential cancerous regions in the gut, and we will then perform experiments to test these predicted genes in patient samples. In Crunch 1, you will predict gene expression in spatial transcriptomics data from matched pathology images.
