Task
Batch integration
Batch integration asks whether measurements from different experiments can be combined while preserving biological differences.
Sources
theislab/scib official source · README: Metrics, Biological Conservation, Batch Correction and Integration ToolsNo reviewed evaluations are linked here in this release. See the sources and separately identified configurations below.
Overview
Metrics
scIB includes cell-type silhouette, ARI/NMI and trajectory conservation for biology; batch silhouette, iLISI, kBET and graph connectivity for batch effects.
Allowed inputs
Single-cell measurements with batch labels and biological annotations; the chosen method may return a corrected matrix, embedding or graph.

Methods and evaluation design
Procedure, tasks and evaluated configurations
How it works
Choosing an evaluation
Assess two objectives separately: removal of technical batch effects and retention of cell identities and biological variation. scIB supplies metrics for both. A model that mixes every cell together can score well on mixing while destroying useful biology, so one objective cannot substitute for the other. Use a concrete scIB or Open Problems protocol for datasets, preprocessing and scoring; those resources are not interchangeable.

theislab/scib official source · README: Metrics, Biological Conservation, Batch Correction and Integration ToolsTask scope
This is a task guide, not a single versioned benchmark protocol. The connected resources provide examples or concrete procedures. A candidate method or proposed control is not evidence that an evaluation has been completed.
Sources
theislab/scib official source · README: Metrics, Biological Conservation, Batch Correction and Integration ToolsEvaluation design
Benchmarks bring together tasks and protocols. A task describes the biological question; a protocol defines a particular test.
Benchmarks
These source-backed links do not make different protocols or scores interchangeable.
Run instructions
No runnable recipe has been reviewed for this task. Dataset access, model requirements, licences and compute requirements must be checked against its sources before execution.
A task describes a biological question. Choose a linked protocol to obtain concrete split and scoring instructions.
Strengths, limitations and unresolved questions
Strengths and limitations
Strengths supported by sources
- A two-part assessment can expose overcorrection that a batch-mixing score alone misses.
Sources
theislab/scib official source · README: Metrics, Biological Conservation, Batch Correction and Integration Tools
Limitations and conditions
- Metric choice depends on available labels and output representation. This guide supplies neither a shared cohort nor a universal combined score.

Historical gaps recorded on 2026-09-17
- Bio-conservation and batch-removal components depend on datasets and preprocessing. Figures do not justify new exact numerical scores; official source-data matrix extraction remains pending. Broad batch integration is not identical to scIB or Open Problems.
