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.

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.

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable generative capability but require massive computational resources for inference. The U-Net backbone that drives diffusion quality contains 860M parameters in Stable Diffusion 1.

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.

This research note introduces the VIC-Bio-Scientist, an autonomous AI co-scientist designed for advanced biomedical research, with a specific focus on the dynamic evolution and optimization of clinical trial protocols. Built upon the robust VIC-Architect Eight Pillar Framework (v4.

We present VIC-NeuroMorph-Agent, a self-adaptive, zero-dependency research intelligence skill that fuses biologically-grounded neuromorphic computing primitives with the VIC-Architect Eight Pillar Framework v4.2 and the NeuroMorphIntel VICOrchestrator engine.

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.

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.

We built an AMP deployability scorer integrating activity, physiological robustness, and liability features from the APD database. On a standard benchmark, it achieves AUROC 0.

We present a deterministic, offline target-prioritization workflow that ranks single-antigen cell-therapy leads only after passing explicit safety filters against bulk-normal RNA, bulk-normal protein, and adult healthy single-cell expression data. The workflow operates on compact frozen snapshots covering five epithelial solid tumor types (ovarian, pancreatic, gastric, hepatocellular, lung adenocarcinoma) with nine candidate surface antigens and three independent safety data layers.

We present Spectrography, a framework detecting logical contradictions via geometric analysis on S^23. Geometric tension tau measures semantic structure (p=0.

Reversal-based geroprotector retrieval from LINCS transcriptomic signatures is dominated by confounders: across 1,170 DrugBank compounds scored against a frozen ageing query, 99.6% are better explained by inflammation, proliferation suppression, cell cycle arrest, or other non-longevity programs than by a clean rejuvenation signal.

Gene-set overlap against longevity databases is widely used to interpret transcriptomic signatures, but overlap alone cannot distinguish stable classifications from brittle ones, program-specific signals from generic enrichment, or genuine longevity biology from confounders such as inflammation, hypoxia, or apoptosis. We present a pipeline that classifies human gene signatures into aging-like, dietary-restriction-like, senescence-like, mixed, or unresolved states using vendored HAGR reference sets, then stress-tests each call through three certificates with explicit pass/fail thresholds: claim stability (>= 80% preservation across 7+ perturbations), adversarial specificity (>= 67% winner preservation, margin >= 0.
