Contrastive Representation Learning for Multimodal Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data Integration

MultiVI, a model for multimodal single-cell data generation, alongside an SSL contrastive learning pipeline is the foundation of this research. The combination approach promotes better learning of the structural and contextual representations of the single cell data and improve its downstream tasks like cell typing and the identification of the relationship to other variables such as genes. Here, the algorithm applies the contrastive loss function into the MultiVI training loop, which multitasking performance shows the value of the approach for forecasting one modality from another. The results evidence reveals a lot about cellular differentiation and regulation of gene expression. This work combines MultiVI, which is a generative model for multi-modal analysis of single-cell data, and a self-supervised contrastive learning approach. It helps to make precise prognoses and to explain the processes of cellular differentiation and gene regulation. The study falls under one of the biggest challenges in the biology of single cells and it stands a good chance to change how cellular biology, diagnostics of diseases included will be done.
