Description
Description:
The Artificial Intelligence for Life in Space (AI4LS) working group at NASA Ames focuses on developing and implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) methods to accelerate space biology research and better characterize the effects of space travel on living systems.
This project will focus on the development of foundation models for space biology. Transfer learning is a machine learning technique in which a model is trained on a large, broad dataset to encode underlying features and relationships, and then refined on a smaller dataset for a similar problem space. This is relevant to space biology research, where datasets typically have limited sample size and the problem space is restricted to a specific distribution. We have begun developing a suite of foundation models pretrained on larger biomedical datasets which can be refined to model space biology research questions. This project will add to this suite of models.
Further, the project will investigate causal inference for space biology. Biological investigations are often interested in identifying causal relationships between a condition and an effect, but most analysis techniques are limited to identifying correlation. Correlation is required for causation but not sufficient. However, leveraging a combination of invariance theory and ML methodology, we aim to elucidate causal relationships in complex biological data.
