scARE: Attribution Regularization for Single Cell Representation Learning

Show abstract
Single-cell data generation techniques have provided valuable insights into the intricate nature of cellular heterogeneity. However, effectively unraveling subtle variations within a specific gene set of interest, while mitigating the confounding presence of higher-order variability, remains challenging. To address this, we propose scARE, a novel end-to-end generative deep learning model, amplifies model sensitivity to a preselected subset of features while minimizing others. scARE incorporates an auxiliary attribution loss term during model training, which empowers researchers to manipulate the models behavior robustly and flexibly. In this study, we showcased scAREs applicability in two concrete scenarios: uncovering subclusters associated with the expression patterns of two cellular pathway genes, and its ability to optimize the model training procedure by leveraging time-points metadata, resulting in improved downstream performance.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
