Diego took popgen theory and ran tons of simulations to calculate how many samples one needs on various scenarios of population structure, genetic basis - re-running some examples from the literature to estimate thresholds. (we need to stop thinking that GWAS needs >1,000 samples).

🧬 Can we predict whether a population will go extinct or recover from its genome?

In our new paper, led by Johanna Winder, we combine forward simulations and machine learning to ask how genomics could inform extinction and recovery potential

PopGen: Generating Semantically Diverse Populations for Zero-Shot Coordination
In multi-agent reinforcement learning, exposing a cooperator to partners with diverse strategies during training is key to better collaboration at test time. However, existing methods typically rely on trajectory-level proxies to measure diversity, which may label two distinct trajectories of the s…
