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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

From Retrieval to Reasoning: Agentic Mechanism Prediction from Cell Painting Profiles

The paper introduces PhenoAIR, a reliability‑aware multi‑agent framework for predicting mechanisms of action (MOA) from Cell Painting morphological profiles. It treats retrieved neighbors as uncertain evidence, calibrating their reliability based on source, phenotype stability, and mechanism confusion, and refines predictions through controller‑guided evidence evaluation. PhenoAIR is benchmarked on JUMP Cell Painting data and outperforms both representation‑matching and LLM‑based baselines across controlled, realistic, and open‑world settings.

ChemVTS-Bench: Evaluating Visual-Textual-Symbolic Reasoning of Multimodal Large Language Models in Chemistry

ChemVTS-Bench is a domain-authentic benchmark that evaluates Visual‑Textual‑Symbolic reasoning in multimodal large language models for chemistry. It presents diverse chemical problems—organic molecules, inorganic materials, and 3D crystal structures—in three input modes: visual-only, visual‑text hybrid, and SMILES-based symbolic. The benchmark includes an automated agent workflow for inference, answer verification, and failure diagnosis, and shows that visual-only inputs and structural chemistry remain challenging for current models.
