Domain Elastic Transform: Bayesian Function Registration for High-Dimensional Scientific Data

Domain Elastic Transform (DET) is a grid‑free, probabilistic framework that jointly aligns geometry and high‑dimensional vector‑valued functions on irregular sparse manifolds, such as those found in spatial transcriptomics. By treating data as functions rather than voxelized images, DET performs unsupervised, scalable registration through sampled point alignment and displacement interpolation, guided by a joint spatial‑functional Bayesian likelihood. Evaluations on MERFISH mouse‑brain slices and Stereo‑seq mouse‑embryo atlases show DET achieving superior spatial overlap and topology compared to existing pipelines, with an accelerated variant delivering high label‑transfer accuracy.

CellPath-Bench: A Multidimensional Benchmark for Whole-Slide Cellular Representations in Pathology Foundation Models

CellPath-Bench is a new benchmark that evaluates whole-slide cellular representations in pathology foundation models (PFMs) by using 25 spatially aligned H&E–Xenium tissue sections from 11 organs and over 7 million cells. It introduces metrics such as Cell Representation Advantage (CRA) and Cell Representation Transferability (CRT) to assess how well frozen PFMs encode cell-type information and generalize across tissue sections, datasets, and organs. The benchmark was applied to 30 PFMs, revealing significant model-dependent differences in cell-type decodability and cross-domain generalization, and offers a standardized framework for auditing cellular information in frozen PFM representations.
