Adaptive Multimodal Fusion with Cross-Attention for Robust Scene Segmentation and Urban Economic Analysis by Chun Zhong, Shihong Zeng, Hongqiu Zhu

“…Additionally, a cross-attention-based multimodal feature fusion mechanism integrates spatial structure information from scene graphs with Swin Transformer’s image classification outputs. By calculating similarities and correlations between scene graph embeddings and image classifications, this mechanism dynamically adjusts each modality’s contribution to the fused representation, leveraging complementary information for a more coherent multimodal understanding. …”

ChromatinHD connects single-cell DNA accessibility and conformation to gene expression through scale-adaptive machine learning by Wouter Saelens, Olga Pushkarev, Bart Deplancke

“…We show how ChromatinHD consistently outperforms existing peak and window-based approaches and find that this is due to a large number of uniquely captured, functional accessibility changes within and outside of putative cis-regulatory regions. Furthermore, ChromatinHD can delineate collaborating regulatory regions, including their preferential genomic conformations, that drive gene expression. …”
