Scouter: Predicting Transcriptional Responses to Genetic Perturbations with LLM embeddings
Zhu, O.; Li, J.
Show abstract
This paper addresses the challenging problem of predicting transcriptional outcomes-- the expression levels of all genes--in gene perturbation experiments and introduces a novel method called Scouter. By leveraging the capabilities of large language models and employing a neural network that facilitates easy training, Scouter overcomes key limitations of current approaches and accurately predicts the outcomes of single-gene and two-gene perturbations, reducing the error of state-of-the-art methods by half or more.

"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.
