Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

While machine learning models trained on single-cell transcriptomics data have shown great promise in providing biological insights, existing tools struggle to effectively model underrepresented and out-of-distribution cellular features or states. We present a generalizable Adaptive Resampling (AR) approach that addresses these limitations and enhances single-cell representation learning by resampling data based on its learned latent structure in an online, adaptive manner concurrent with model training. Experiments on gene expression reconstruction, cell type classification, and perturbation response prediction tasks demonstrate that the proposed AR training approach leads to significantly improved downstream performance across datasets and metrics. Additionally, it enhances the quality of learned cellular embeddings compared to standard training methods. Our results suggest that AR may serve as a valuable technique for improving representation learning and predictive performance in single-cell transcriptomic models.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
