Excited to share our latest preprint, introducing the hierarchical cross-entropy (HCE) loss — a simple change that consistently improves performance in atlas-scale cell type annotation models. doi.org/10.1101/2025.04.23.6…

Current methods in the field are trained on atlases ranging from 1 to 100 million cells. In our newest preprint, we show that these same approaches tend to plateau in performance with pre-training datasets that are only a fraction of the size.

This one has been a long time coming! Very excited to get this highly collaborative work out. More evidence that considering cell states in conjunction with driver oncogenes needs a close look!

Don’t miss the @CellCellPress research of #FacesOfCell Andrew Navia, “Microenvironment drives cell state, plasticity, and drug response in pancreatic cancer” cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
ALT "I hope to build on our PDAC research, specifically exploring how existing therapies perturb tumor cell RNA state and their non-malignant support structures. Ideally, this can lead to RNA state-directed therapies similar to existing genotype-directed therapies."

.@valarlabs is a new startup out of @Stanford on the application of #AI to #pathology (with an early focus on treatment decisions in #PancreaticCancer).
Eric Collisson from @UCSFCancer has a great quote in this story:

I guess I can comment on this now that it’s out in the public. Tenure… Wow. They say it takes a village and it’s so true. I’m just incredibly thankful for my community. No way this happens without them.
Looking forward to this next season 🙏🏾
