🚀 #NatureMachineIntelligence 🚀 Conditional Monge Gap: a lightweight method for generalizable Optimal Transport across perturbations. Works well on unseen drugs, doses & time points. <1M params! Paper: ibm.biz/conditional-monge-gap Code: ibm.biz/conditional-monge-gap-code @marianna-raps.bsky.social

Conditional Monge Gap enables generalizable single-cell perturbation modelling - Nature Machine Intelligence
Driessen et al. present a conditional optimal transport method that can model the distribution shift between perturbed and unperturbed cell transcriptomes and that can generalize to unseen contexts.

🚨 Our new paper: Conditional Optimal Transport generalizes well to unseen drugs. Big step forward, thanks to conditional Monge Gap! Even better: conditional models often beat local, non-conditional ones. arxiv.org/abs/2504.08328. Code public! Thanks to all co-authors @marianna-raps.bsky.social

Alma Dal Co was an incredible scientist and a wonderful person who left us far too soon. Last Friday, Sven Bergmann and the Alma Dal Co foundation organized a very special 2nd Memorial Symposium. It was mind-blowing to see how Alma‘s ideas continue to be a huge influence on all of us who knew her.
