CP-Agent: Context-Aware Multimodal Reasoning for Cellular Morphological Profiling under Chemical Perturbations

arXiv:2606. 03435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cell Painting combines multiplexed fluorescent staining, high-content imaging, and quantitative analysis to generate high-dimensional phenotypic readouts to support diverse downstream tasks such as mechanism-of-action (MoA) inference, toxicity prediction, and construction of drug-disease atlases.

SMILESGNN: Interpretable Clinical Toxicity Prediction via SMILES-Graph Cross-Attention Fusion

SMILESGNN is a multimodal architecture that fuses a SMILES Transformer encoder with a GATv2 graph encoder through cross‑attention, enabling interpretable clinical toxicity predictions. The model retains an explicit graph branch, allowing GNNExplainer to identify substructures linked to toxicity. On the ClinTox dataset it achieves an AUC‑ROC of 0.987 and F1 of 0.906 with only 0.4 M parameters, while on Tox21 it attains a mean AUC‑ROC of 0.750, comparable to strong single‑modality baselines.

BIRDNet: Mining and Encoding Boolean Implication Knowledge Graphs as Interpretable Deep Neural Networks

BIRDNet is a neural network that mines Boolean implication relationships (BIRs) from tabular data and encodes them as a sparse, interpretable architecture where each hidden unit represents a mined rule connecting two features. The design yields a model that is at most 2/d of the weights active per layer and retains symbolic identities for each unit, allowing direct rule extraction without surrogate models. Experiments on six transcriptomic and proteomic datasets show BIRDNet achieves AUROC within 0.02 of the best dense baseline while using up to 95× fewer active parameters, and its first‑layer rules align with known biological signatures.
