Scalable Bayesian Boolean Tensor Factorisation for Single Cell Genomics Abstract: Binary data are often treated as continuous measurements so that standard dimensionality reduction methods designed for continuous data can be applied. This results in ambiguous low-dimensional representations since the observations are binary but the reduced dimensional representation is continuous. An alternative in which the latent low-dimensional representation is itself binary maybe more desirable. We have developed a family of binary data dimensionality reduction techniques based on Boolean logic called Logical Factorisation Machines (LFMs). In this talk I will describe the family of LFMs, the properties that give rise to scalable computation and applications in single cell genomics for interpretable unravelling of latent expression pathways.
