I'll be presenting our poster @neuripsconf.bsky.social next month - updates to follow! 🤓
Unscrambling disease progression at scale: fast inference of event permutations with optimal transport
Disease progression models infer group-level temporal trajectories of change in patients' features as a chronic degenerative condition plays out. They provide unique insight into disease biology and s...
