New SB-CFG method enhances synthetic scRNA-seq data generation

Researchers have developed a new guidance strategy called Sparsity-Biased Classifier-Free Guidance (SB-CFG) to improve the generation of synthetic single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data using diffusion models. Unlike existing methods that rely on an unconditional branch trained to approximate true marginal distributions, SB-CFG uses a deliberately under-informative sparse reference. This approach enhances the contrast between conditional and unconditional predictions, leading to more effective guidance during data sampling. Experiments on multiple scRNA-seq datasets showed that SB-CFG consistently improved marker gene expression fidelity, cell-type consistency, and sparsity preservation compared to standard classifier-free guidance.
