CosMAP: Contrastive Manifold Approximation and Projection for Dimensionality Reduction of Omics and Genealogical Data

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 11269v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Omics datasets, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing data, are high-dimensional, sparse, noisy, and dominated by zero values, making faithful low-dimensional representation challenging.

cGAP: Generalized Association Plots with HOMALS-Guided Heatmaps for Visualization of High-Dimensional Categorical Data

arXiv:2607. 15018v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-dimensional categorical data arise in genetics, biomedicine, and the social sciences, yet visualization tools for such data remain far less developed than those for continuous variables.

DMT-Dens: Density-preserving manifold visualization for biological data

DMT‑Dens is a parametric manifold‑visualization technique that uses a latent‑token Transformer encoder to produce two‑dimensional embeddings of high‑dimensional biological data. It preserves sampling density by aligning rank‑based manifold structures and optimizing a Pearson‑correlation loss on k‑nearest‑neighbor log‑radius estimates. Benchmark tests show that DMT‑Dens maintains density fidelity while achieving competitive label separability on biological datasets.

SpaFactor: Lightweight Spatial Context-Aware Gene Program Modeling for Histology-to-Transcriptomics Inference

SpaFactor is a lightweight framework that predicts spatial gene expression from hematoxylin and eosin images by fusing central spot visuals with multiscale neighborhood context. It uses a residual MLP to map tissue microenvironment to low‑dimensional latent gene programs, which are decoded into coordinated multi‑gene predictions. Across five public cohorts, SpaFactor outperforms existing methods, especially for spatially variable genes, and better recovers biologically organized spatial patterns.
