MuCoS: Drug Target Discovery via Knowledge Graphs

Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have emerged as powerful tools for drug discovery, but existing methods often fail to capture the multi-contextual nature of biomedical relationships. We introduce MuCoS (Multi Context Aware Sampling), a novel approach that efficiently discovers drug targets by sampling diverse contextual neighborhoods in biomedical KGs. Our method significantly improves target identification accuracy while reducing computational overhead.

Project

Causal Learning & Body Schema in Robotics

This project focuses on how robots can abstract cause-effect relations from experience, enabling intuitive actions with unseen objects. By developing body schema models and causal learning algorithms, robots gain the ability to understand their physical capabilities and predict interaction outcomes, leading to more natural and effective manipulation skills.

MuCo-KGC: Multi-Context-Aware Knowledge Graph Completion

Traditional knowledge graph completion methods often ignore the rich contextual information available in multi-relational graphs. We propose MuCo-KGC, a multi-context-aware approach that leverages diverse contextual signals to improve link prediction performance. Our method achieves state-of-the-art results on several benchmarks while maintaining computational efficiency.

KG-EDAS: Evaluating Knowledge Graph Completion Models

Current evaluation practices for knowledge graph completion models lack standardization and often fail to capture model capabilities comprehensively. We introduce KG-EDAS (Knowledge Graph Evaluation through Data-Aware Scoring), a meta-metric framework that provides more robust and interpretable evaluation of KGC models. Our framework addresses key limitations in existing evaluation protocols.

Project

Language & Visual Exploration in Infants

This project developed computational models explaining how babies learn language through visual exploration patterns. By studying the intersection of vision and language development, we created AI systems that mirror infant learning processes and match behavioral patterns observed in developmental psychology studies.

Formal theories clarify the complex: Generalizing a neural process account of the interaction of visual exploration and word learning in infancy

Formal theories clarify the complex: Generalizing a neural process account of the interaction of visual exploration and word learning in infancy

Visual exploration and auditory processing interact to support object discrimination, categorization, and early word learning. To clarify their complex, multi‐timescale interactions, we generalize a formal neural process model of word learning to simulate two infant studies of label‐driven novelty preference (9–22 months). Simulations explain label effects on looking and mutual‐exclusivity responses. We discuss criteria for formal theories and their integration with empirical paradigms.

Similarity in object properties supports cross-situational word learning: Predictions from a dynamic neural model confirmed

Context manipulations reveal that similarity in object properties can counterintuitively facilitate word learning. Using the WOLVES dynamic field model, we simulated CSWL under two conditions: 'NEAR' (objects metrically similar) and 'FAR' (objects distinct). WOLVES predicted superior learning in NEAR trials. An adult behavioral experiment confirmed this novel prediction, demonstrating that contextual similarity enhances cross‐situational word mapping.
