Hey, this is Ganchao Wei (魏赣超 in Chinese), a stats / ML player (or AI, if you want) in New York, NY, mostly motivated by problems in biological science, especially neuroscience.
I used to play more with Bayesian and latent variable models for spatiotemporal data, and recently I’ve been into deep generative models (diffusion- / flow-based) and causal stuff.
Some recent ideas on flow stuff
For count data
-
Flow matching directly on count space.

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]
For time series
-
GP stochastic paths for flow matching with correlated / time-series data.

Flexible low-D dynamics, with applications to neuroscience.

For causal discovery / representation learning
-
Using diffusion / flow models to sample causal graphs, for high-D graphs, uncertainty, Markov equivalence classes, etc.
Coming soon… hopefully 😅
