TransNRank: Towards Accurate Neoantigen Ranking with Transformer

arXiv:2608. 01924v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Personalized neoantigen prediction is challenging due to the scarcity of positive samples, the noise of the experimental data, the severe class imbalance trait and the complex of immunogenicity features.

Data-Efficient Multimodal Alignment for Histopathology-based Molecular Prediction

arXiv:2606. 29949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: H&E-stained whole-slide images offer cohort-scale availability and rich spatial context but lack molecular specificity, whereas bulk RNA-seq provides transcriptome-wide resolution at high cost with limited archival availability.

SubQuad: Near-Quadratic-Free Structure Inference with Distribution-Balanced Objectives in Adaptive Receptor framework

arXiv:2602. 17330v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Comparative analysis of adaptive immune repertoires at population scale is hampered by two practical bottlenecks: the near-quadratic cost of pairwise affinity evaluations and dataset imbalances that obscure clinically important minority clonotypes.

MODIS: Multi-Omics Data Integration for Small and unpaired datasets

MODIS is a semi‑supervised framework for integrating multi‑omics data that are often unpaired, partially labeled, and scarce, such as in rare disease studies. It trains on a large reference database and a small target dataset simultaneously, using diagonal integration and class‑label alignment to handle class imbalance. The architecture combines variational auto‑encoders, a class classifier, and an adversarially trained modality classifier, with a regularized relativistic GAN loss for stable training, and demonstrates high accuracy on synthetic data and the TCGA cancer dataset.

Explainability from Training with Applications to TCR-Epitope Prediction

The paper introduces Explainability from Training (EFT), a model‑agnostic method that tracks how deep learning models learn and organize evidence during training. EFT is applied to four leading T cell receptor‑epitope prediction models, revealing distinct learning trajectories for CNNs and transformers, conflicts between TCR alpha and beta chain evidence, and differences in feature preferences when using real versus predicted structural data. The authors also present a new benchmark, TCR‑XAI2, comprising 388 experimentally resolved TCR‑epitope structures and several predicted models to evaluate these insights.

GyroNovo: Error-Guided Fragment Imputation with Mass-Aware Attention for \textit{De Novo} Peptide Sequencing

GyroNovo is a new framework for de novo peptide sequencing that improves fragment imputation by guiding the process with decoder errors observed during training. It introduces mass-aware attention using rotary embeddings to encode pairwise mass differences between spectral peaks, and creates easy and hard augmented views of spectra to train the decoder under varying corruption levels. Experiments on NovoBench demonstrate significant gains, with about 9 percentage points higher peptide-level precision and 7 percentage points higher amino-acid-level precision compared to the state-of-the-art baseline.
