TL;DR: This work overexpressed two Neurogenin transcription factors in human‐induced pluripotent stem cells and obtained neurons with bipolar morphology in 4 days, at greater than 90% purity, suggesting that a systems‐level view of the molecular biology of differentiation may guide subsequent manipulation of human stem cells to rapidly obtain diverse neuronal types.

TL;DR: It is found that, when expressed from the same plasmid, the combinations of attainable protein concentrations are constrained by a linear relationship, which can be interpreted as an isocost line, a concept used in microeconomics.
Proceedings Article
Online and linear-time attention by enforcing monotonic alignments
TL;DR: This paper proposed an end-to-end differentiable method for learning monotonic alignments which, at test time, enables computing attention online and in linear time, achieving results competitive with existing sequence-tosequence models.
