Geneformer is a tabular count model trained on sc-RNA from the Chan Zuckerberg Cell x Gene census

This model is backed by NVIDIA's Plus Plus (++) Promise
to learn more about the quality of the datasets used to train this model.
FieldResponse
Intended Application(s) & Domain(s):Generates representations of cells from genes
Model Type:Gene Expression Representation
Intended Users:This model is intended for academic and industrial computational biologists who study and perform experiments with single cell RNA sequencing data.
Outputs:Gene Expression Embeddings
Describe how the model works:Outputs a dense embedding based on masked genes and classification targets.
Technical Limitations:The model does not take into account the magnitude of gene expression, only the rank. The model is technically limited to only observing 1000-2000 genes rather than the entire set of possible targets (~20,000).
Verified to have met prescribed NVIDIA standards:Yes
Performance Metrics:* Reconstruction Error (Cross Entropy)
* Cell Type Classification
Potential Known Risks:The model may not work on cell types and genes unrelated to neuronal gene expression; model accuracy should be further researched for potential differences in population based on age, sex, and ethnicity.
Licensing:Apache 2.0
