Lorentz-regularized interpretable VAE for multi-scale single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic embeddings

LiVAE provides a robust, general-purpose framework for single-cell representation learning that resolves the local-global trade-off through geometric regularization. By maintaining Euclidean latent spaces while leveraging hyperbolic priors, LiVAE enables improved developmental trajectory inference and mechanistic biological discovery without sacrificing compatibility with existing computational ecosystems.

Abstract

LiVAE provides a robust, general-purpose framework for single-cell representation learning that resolves the local-global trade-off through geometric regularization. By maintaining Euclidean latent spaces while leveraging hyperbolic priors, LiVAE enables improved developmental trajectory inference and mechanistic biological discovery without sacrificing compatibility with existing computational ecosystems.
