Sebastiano Cultrera di Montesano’s latest preprint introduces hierarchical cross-entropy (HCE) — a simple yet powerful loss function that improves cell type annotation performance by 12-15% across models, from linear classifiers to transformers: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

⌨️ 😇 Drafting for NeurIPS? Submit to #ICML2025 workshop on Scaling Up Intervention Models (SIM) too! Let’s enjoy some fun science in Vancouver this July. 🌞🌳 🗓️Workshop submission due on May 20 AOE 🔗More info: sites.google.com/view/sim-icml2…

How can deep learning models be trained efficiently on massive single-cell datasets—without full in-memory loading or format conversion? We built scDataset to make data loading fast, memory-efficient, and accessible to everyone. Check it out!

Thank you Nima Alidoust for the kind shoutout! As single-cell datasets continue to grow, so does the need for tools that make it easier and faster to work with them, especially for training AI models at scale. We’re excited to see what models it will help the community build!

From time to time I like to video myself solving maths problems in real time. Since the IMO has just happened, I plan to try a few of this year's questions. Here I get through Question 1. More to come at some point. youtube.com/watch?v=1G1nyS…
