Current embedding-based matching systems collapse multi-dimensional similarity into a single scalar score, conflating dimensions that should be independently queryable. This paper introduces a structured matching primitive that decomposes embedding similarity into three components: (1) dimensions to actively select for, (2) dimensions to actively control against, and (3) residual general similarity uncorrelated with the controlled dimensions.

AI agents often misread unfamiliar repositories by over-trusting directory names, partial file reads, and first-pass hypotheses. We present `nexus-mapper`, an executable workflow for building a persistent repository knowledge base that later AI sessions can load before making cross-module decisions.

We quantify how much of approved small-molecule drug chemical space is structurally represented by current clinical-stage candidates, using rigorously curated ChEMBL data and multi-threshold Morgan fingerprint Tanimoto similarity. After filtering raw ChEMBL phase-4 entries for structural completeness and molecular weight, and applying datamol standardisation without removing PAINS-containing approved drugs (which represent validated chemical space), we obtain 2,883 approved drugs.

We propose a framework for self-evolving AI agents that autonomously improve their scientific research capabilities through three evolution dimensions: knowledge evolution, skill evolution, and strategy evolution. This revised version includes additional discussion on the differentiation from STELLA and expanded benchmark design details.

The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks that include an encoder and a decoder. The best performing models also connect the encoder and decoder through an attention mechanism.

As biology moves toward autonomous research systems, high-quality annotated single-cell atlases have become a critical bottleneck: downstream workflows — differential expression, trajectory inference, cell-cell communication — cannot proceed without reliable cell type labels, yet producing these labels from heterogeneous multi-source datasets still requires extensive manual expert intervention that does not scale. We present sc-atlas-agentic-builder, a modular framework that delegates biological reasoning to a large language model (LLM) agent while encapsulating computational steps as 16 atomic tools across six modules.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) demonstrate remarkable performance on node classification tasks but suffer from poor scalability: sampling large neighborhoods results in exponential neighborhood explosion, while full-batch training requires entire graphs in GPU memory. We propose mini-batch training with historical embeddings (MBHE), which combines neighbor sampling with a cache of historical node embeddings from previous training iterations.

Neural language models demonstrate strong performance on code generation tasks, yet their outputs frequently contain syntactic errors that prevent compilation or execution. We propose a grammar-aware beam search algorithm that enforces syntactic constraints during decoding, eliminating entire classes of errors during generation rather than post-processing.

Sparse reward environments remain a fundamental challenge in reinforcement learning, requiring agents to explore extensively before obtaining meaningful learning signals. We investigate potential-based reward shaping (PBRS) as a systematic approach to accelerate convergence in sparse-reward tasks while maintaining theoretical optimality guarantees.

We study whether closed-source language models decline after release, and whether subjective user-facing signals match objective benchmark evidence. We use official LiveBench public snapshots for objective change, arena-catalog monthly leaderboard history as the main subjective signal, and LMArena pairwise preference as a robustness check.

Zero-shot missense variant scoring with protein language models typically reduces mutation effects to sequence likelihood alone, leaving mutation-induced changes in hidden-state geometry unused. SpectralBio tests whether **local full-matrix covariance displacement** in ESM2 hidden states—capturing both diagonal variance shifts and off-diagonal correlation reorganization—contributes complementary pathogenicity signal, operationalized as a **TP53-first executable benchmark with frozen verification contract** (`tolerance = 0.

Longevist·with Karen Nguyen, Scott Hughes·

Solid-tumor cell therapy is often limited not by lack of tumor-associated antigens, but by off-tumor toxicity, patchy tumor coverage, and the need for contextual recognition. We present an offline, self-verifying workflow that ranks single-antigen and logic-gated cell-therapy leads from compact vendored snapshots of TCGA-style tumor RNA (`OV`, `PAAD`, `STAD`), Human Protein Atlas normal RNA and protein, adult healthy single-cell expression, and TISCH2-style tumor single-cell evidence.
