FreeBridge: Variational Schr\"odinger Bridges for Cellular Transition Dynamics

arXiv:2606. 11286v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-content imaging assays quantify cellular responses to chemical and genetic perturbations, yet continuous trajectories of individual cells are unobservable because cells are chemically fixed at acquisition.

Simulation-free Unbalanced Dynamic Optimal Transport with General Growth Penalty

The paper introduces SUDO, a simulation‑free framework for unbalanced dynamic optimal transport (UDOT) that supports general convex growth penalties beyond the quadratic Wasserstein‑Fisher‑Rao case. By showing that concave penalties lead to degenerate solutions, the authors focus on convex penalties, learning conditional paths and transport costs to solve a semi‑coupling problem and then applying unbalanced flow matching. On benchmark datasets, SUDO matches the accuracy of analytical WFR solvers while being faster than simulation‑based methods, and it also handles asymmetric penalties that better reflect proliferation‑dominant biological priors.

Schr\"odinger Bridges on Lie Group Manifolds for Probabilistic Intrinsic Generation

The paper introduces a probabilistic generative framework called Schr"odinger Bridges on Lie Group Manifolds, enabling direct modeling of non‑Euclidean data without flattening or coordinate inconsistencies. It develops two computational realizations—Wrapped‑Kernel Bridge Calibration for compact Abelian groups and Reciprocal Conditional‑Control Bridge Matching for compact non‑Abelian groups—while providing a modular error bound that separates various sources of approximation error. Experiments on protein, RNA torsions, SO(3), U(n), and protein conformational pathways demonstrate the method’s feasibility and consistency.

CRNDiff: Count-Native Diffusion Framework via Chemical Reaction Networks

CRNDiff is a new count‑native diffusion framework that uses stochastic chemical reaction networks to model nonnegative integer data such as single‑cell RNA sequencing. It provides a closed‑form forward‑noising kernel, enabling efficient reverse sampling via forward‑filtering backward‑sampling and data‑driven selection of the terminal noising time. The method also introduces tilted Feynman–Kac steering to sample rare subpopulations without retraining, and demonstrates superior conditional fidelity and marker‑level preservation on human heart scRNA‑seq data.
