[1/6] How can we build virtual cell foundation models that adapt to unseen biological contexts? Meet MapPFN, the first prior-data fitted network (PFN) for perturbation prediction. Meta-learned from a synthetic biological prior, it adapts at inference via in-context learning. 🧵

As you know, I've been simulating electoral systems for a while now (more like a couple months tbh). Well this time I chanced upon something kinda interesting and wrote that up into an arxiv pre-print: arxiv.org/abs/2604.19985 (1/) 🧪💻

Geometric Comparisons of Electoral Rules Under Feedback

We study how electoral rules shape polarization dynamics when voters and candidates both adapt to repeated election outcomes. We introduce two geometric primitives for comparing rules under this feedb...

Check out my new pre-print. Here we develop an automated approach to value set creating using retrieval + classification, which greatly outperforms zero shot LLM based valie set generation. 🧪

A couple more interesting notebooks for those who might be interested: 1. A notebook on one of the most classic and highly cited results in social choice theory (Arrow's impossibility theorem): github.com/mukhes3/elec....

Did some big updates to the electoral_sim package today (github.com/mukhes3/elec...). The biggest updates are: 1. Added non-sincere voting types 2. Added a notebook comparing FPTP + closed primaries with RCV w/ open primaries under different settings.

I wrote my first Medium article (medium.com/@sumitmukher...) about an open source repository I created to simulate different electoral systems under different electoral scenarios. It is not my area of expertise but a topic I have long been interested in. (1/)

Electoral-sim: A spatial voting simulator for comparing electoral systems

I am not a social scientist nor have I professionally worked in scientific disciplines adjacent to those that study electoral systems…

My heart goes to out to the ordinary people of Iran and Israel for what seems to me, as an outsider, a completely pointless war. I hope this insanity comes to an end quickly. My hear goes out to the civilians in these countries who really didn't want or deserve this.

As more and more tech companies claim that LLMs will make certain classes of jobs unnecessary in a few years, it amazes me that there is little to no discussion on the effects on the labor force/economy and other societal impacts.

South Asian friends living in the US - is it me or is Indian food just way more spicy in the US than it is in India (on average)? If y'all agree with me, why do you think this is? Even dishes that were sweet-ish in India, are somehow spicy here.

We have a new method, HypotheSAEs, for identifying *interpretable text features that predict a target variable* (aka hypothesis generation). What features of a headline predict engagement? What features of a clinical note predict whether a patient will develop cancer? 1/

It's shameful that we have billionaires now feeling empowered to go on highly visible podcasts and say Social Security is a 'ponzi scheme' without explaining a clear alternative that doesn't involve kicking seniors to the curb. Truly shameful!
