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.

I also help a bit to keep ML/AI conferences from crashing down (hopefully) by serving as an AC for ICLR, ICML, etc.

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.
  Ganchao Wei and Li Ma. Stream-level Flow Matching with Gaussian Processes. ICML, 2025.

• Flexible low-D dynamics, with applications to neuroscience.
  Ganchao Wei, Daniela de Albuquerque, Miles Martinez, Shiyang Pan, and John Pearson. Dynamic Compression Flows for Neuroscience Data. ICML, 2026.
