SPATIA: Multimodal Generation and Prediction of Spatial Cell Phenotypes

ICML 2026poster

Understanding how cellular morphology, gene expression, and spatial context jointly shape tissue function is a central challenge in biology. Image-based spatial transcriptomics technologies now provide high-resolution measurements of cell images and gene expression profiles, but existing methods typ…

Understanding the Role of Hallucination in Reinforcement Post-Training of Multimodal Reasoning Models

CVPR 2026

The recent success of reinforcement learning (RL) in large reasoning models has inspired the growing adoption of RL for post-training Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to enhance their visual reasoning capabilities. Although many studies have reported improved performance, it remains unclear

Bag of Tricks for Sparse Mixture-of-Experts: A Benchmark Across Reasoning, Efficiency, and Safety

EMNLP 2025

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has emerged as a promising approach for scaling large language models efficiently. However, how to design a desired MoE architecture given performance, efficiency, or safety goals remains absent. Existing benchmarks often focus on isolated aspects (e.g., reasoning, efficienc

GRNFormer: A Biologically-Guided Framework for Integrating Gene Regulatory Networks into RNA Foundation Models

ACL 2025finding

Foundation models for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have shown promising capabilities in capturing gene expression patterns. However, current approaches face critical limitations: they ignore biological prior knowledge encoded in gene regulatory relationships and fail to leverage multi-omic…
