Causal Models Need Causal Data - Xaira’s X-Cell model (Bo Wang & Ci Chu) Jul 21, 2026 · 1:29:47 Xaira's X-Cell uses a 4.9B parameter diffusion model to predict cell response to unseen genetic perturbations. By training on massive causal datasets (Perturb-seq), it moves drug discovery from correlation to prediction.

Stanford CS229 Machine Learning | Spring 2026 | Lecture 1: Introduction Jul 29, 2026 · 36:59 The course emphasizes understanding the mathematical foundations of ML, covering Supervised, Unsupervised, and Reinforcement Learning. A key focus is optimizing algorithms for hardware compatibility. Stanford CS229 Machine Learning | Spring 2026 | Lecture 11: Diffusion Models Jul 31, 2026 · 1:22:31 Diffusion models are generative frameworks used to generate realistic images, videos, and actions. The process involves a fixed forward noising step ($X_0 o X_T$) and a learned reverse denoising step $p_ heta(X_{t-1}|X_t)$, optimized using the Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO).

Stanford EE292R AI and Data for Science | Autumn 2026 | From World Models to World Agents Oct 22, 2026 · 54:31 World models are defined as real-time, action-conditioned, causal video generators. They represent a shift from traditional simulators to data-driven generative approaches, using diffusion models to create photorealistic video conditioned on text, context, and actions. Training Krea 2: What matters in generative model training — Sangwu Lee, Krea.ai Aug 18, 2026 · 21:46 Krea 2’s training methodology reveals that data curation is everything. The talk covers advanced techniques like pHash deduplication, Sparse Autoencoders for unsupervised tagging, and multi-stage training from low to high resolution. Stanford CS229 Machine Learning | Spring 2026 | Lecture 12: Representation Learning Jul 31, 2026 · 1:15:57 This session covers Diffusion Models, detailing the loss function $\mathcal{L}_{t-1}$ derived from lower bounds. It also explores Foundation Model paradigms, zero-shot learning, and parameter efficiency techniques like Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA).
