Researchers have developed a new framework called CP-BG-Bench for evaluating vision encoders used in Cell Painting analysis. This framework utilizes a paired-view approach, holding the central cell fixed while manipulating surrounding pixels across four matched views. By applying this to three datasets and three encoders under various protocols, the study found that different evaluation metrics yield systematically different rankings of encoders. These disagreements can be attributed to factors like cell versus background, morphology versus context, and within-study versus across-batch comparisons, highlighting the sensitivity of encoder evaluation to the chosen protocol and experimental design.
