Disentangled representations boost morpho-transcriptomic integration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have explored methods to improve the integration of spatial transcriptomics and Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) imaging data by disentangling shared and modality-specific variations. They compared variational auto-encoder (VAE) and contrastive approaches, finding that contrastive objectives generally yield better downstream probing performance. The study suggests that explicitly factorizing shared information can enhance multimodal representation learning for spatial transcriptomics, offering a framework for evaluating future foundation models.

    Disentangled Shared Representations Improve Morpho-Transcriptomic Integration

    arXiv:2608.14355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial transcriptomics (ST) enables the simultaneous profiling of gene expression and tissue morphology, creating an opportunity to learn multimodal representations capturing shared morpho-transcriptomic structure. However, standar…
