Inference of directed biological networks is an important but notoriously challenging problem. We introduce inverse sparse regression (inspre), an approach to learning causal networks that leverages large-scale intervention-response data. Applied to 788 genes from the genome-wide perturb-seq dataset, inspre helps elucidate the network architecture of blood traits.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
