arXiv:2602. 01051v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Repertoire-level analysis of T cell receptors offers a biologically grounded signal for disease detection and immune monitoring, yet practical deployment is impeded by label sparsity, cohort heterogeneity, and the computational burden of adapting large encoders to new tasks.

SubQuad: Near-Quadratic-Free Structure Inference with Distribution-Balanced Objectives in Adaptive Receptor framework

arXiv:2602. 17330v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Comparative analysis of adaptive immune repertoires at population scale is hampered by two practical bottlenecks: the near-quadratic cost of pairwise affinity evaluations and dataset imbalances that obscure clinically important minority clonotypes.

Estimating the Causal Effects of T Cell Receptors

The paper introduces a method for estimating the causal effects of T cell receptor (TCR) sequences on patient outcomes using observational TCR sequencing and clinical data. It corrects for unobserved confounders by leveraging the pre-selection TCR repertoire generated through V(D)J recombination as a natural experiment, and employs permutation‑invariant neural networks to scale to millions of sequences. The approach is validated on semisynthetic data and applied to COVID‑19 severity, identifying TCRs that are observed in patients, bind SARS‑CoV‑2 antigens in vitro, and positively influence clinical outcomes.
