Normalized mutual information of Nicheformer (continual, Chen et al. 2026) on BMMC (Chen et al. 2026)

0.59 Normalized mutual information

Methods

Tested configuration: Nicheformer (continual, Chen et al. 2026)
Protocol: Chen et al. 2026 continually pretrained clustering, BMMC
Dataset subset: BMMC (Chen et al. 2026)
Procedure: Chen et al. 2026 continually pretrained clustering, BMMC
Evaluation: Nicheformer on Chen et al. 2026 continually pretrained clustering, BMMC
Coverage: Not reported scored / Not reported eligible
Uncertainty: Not reported by the source
Evidence: Independent external evaluation · source checkedHarmonised benchmarking of foundation models for single-cell and spatial transcriptomics reveals context-dependent generalisation · Table 3, model 'Nicheformer', dataset 'BMMC', column 'NMI'

A source-checked result verifies the numerical transcription, not every model or protocol detail. Evaluation metadata: source checked. Source checked does not mean independently reproduced.

Reproduction

Split: All cells (unsupervised clustering)
Adaptation: two epochs of self-supervised continual pretraining on the target dataset, then the zero-shot clustering workflow
Scoring implementation: Not reported

No execution recipe has been verified for this exact configuration and evaluation. A benchmark's general instructions may use different inputs, splits or model settings.

Reproducing this published result requires matching its model configuration, data, split and scorer. Source checking or a successful smoke test does not establish score reproduction.

Evidence

Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.

Evidence table

Inspect claims, sources and review details

Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.

One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.
