Yosuke presented at CGSI 2026, the Computational Genomics Summer Institute 2026. This talk focused on scalable regression models for genomic prediction on high-dimensional biobank data. During the CGSI 2026 retreat, Yosuke presented a separate talk with a stronger focus on a recent work on incorporating functional genomic annotations in polygenic score models.

We are grateful to the CGSI organizers and participants for the opportunity to share our recent work.
