These experiences taught me three valuable life lessons to stay calm in the face of these difficulties. Here’s what I’ve got:SimplicityThis isn't about being a killjoy or saying no to all pleasure.
Why I Stopped Wrestling with Church Drama (And Still Found God)

Michael Huang·Follow3 min read·--Why I Stopped Wrestling with Church Drama (And Still Found God)There was a time when church pews felt less like a sanctuary and more like a battleground. A misplaced word, an irksome policy, a homily that landed nowhere—each became a pinprick, slowly deflating my spirit. I would leave Mass not with a heart full of grace, but a mind buzzing with questions. Is this the essence of faith? Perhaps you’ve asked yourself the same.

scMoE: single-cell mixture of experts for learning hierarchical, cell-type-specific, and interpretable representations from heterogeneous scRNA-seq data

Oct 25, 2024 | biorxiv.org | Michael Huang |YUE LI

AbstractAdvancements in single-cell transcriptomics methods have resulted in a wealth of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. Methods to learn cell representation from atlas-level scRNA-seq data across diverse tissues can shed light into cell functions implicated in diseases such as cancer. However, integrating large-scale and heterogeneous scRNA-seq data is challenging due to the disparity of cell-types and batch effects.

Pharmaceutical Patent disputes in China | The nuances of “offer to sell”

Aug 26, 2024 | lexology.com | Siqi Wang |Michael Huang

The application of Bolar exceptions and the definition of “offer to sell” have long been contentious issues in the pharmaceutical industry in China. Article 11 of the Chinese Patent Law prohibits any entity or individual from making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing a patented product for production or business purposes. This means that actions aimed at commercial exploitation of a patented invention can be considered as “offer to sell” and constitute patent infringement.
Bringing multimodality to Amazon visual search system

Image to image matching has been well studied in the computer vision community. Previous studies mainly focus on training a deep metric learning model matching visual patterns between the query image and gallery images. In this study, we show that pure image-to-image matching suffers from false positives caused by matching to local visual patterns. To alleviate this issue, we propose to leverage recent advances in vision-language pretraining research.
"Safety of Exercise for Adults With Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Disse" by Jesse Li, Alexandra Boyd et al.

May 23, 2024 | digitalcommons.library.tmc.edu | Jesse Li |Alexandra Boyd |Michael Huang |Joshua Berookhim

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines for patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms or dissections (TAD) restrict vigorous exertion with the intention to prevent acute aortic dissections. However, a safe threshold for exercise intensity has not been established for TAD patients. In this study, we measured exertional changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure during isometric and dynamic exercises in a cohort of TAD patients to determine safety of moderate intensity exercise.
