Hey, this is Ganchao Wei (魏赣超 in Chinese), a stats / ML player (or AI, if you want) in New York, NY and a science lover (currently inspired by structural biology, neuroscience, astrophysics, etc.).
I used to play more with Bayesian and state-space models, and recently I’ve also been into deep generative models (diffusion- / flow-based), causal representation learning, and other ML ideas for scientific problems.
Some recent ideas on flow stuff
For count data
-
Flow matching directly on count space.
Ganchao Wei and John Pearson. Flow Matching for Count Data. NeurIPS, 2026. -
Finite-time stochastic transitions for one- / few-step count generation.
Ganchao Wei. Stochastic Flow Map for Count Data. arXiv preprint arXiv:2609.23290, 2026. [in submission]
(A preliminary version has been accepted to the BeNTo Workshop at NeurIPS 2026 as oral)
For time series
-
GP stochastic paths for flow matching with correlated / time-series data.

Flexible low-D dynamics, with applications to neuroscience.
