CytoBERT: A Foundation Model for Cytometry Data

Aug 14, 2026

This study addresses the challenge of cross-study model transfer in flow cytometry caused by data heterogeneity and the lack of standardized markers. To overcome this, we present the first open-source single-cell flow foundation model designed for variable marker panels. Leveraging self-supervised pretraining and marker standardization on a corpus of 50 million cells, the model learns transferable features across heterogeneous panels, effectively breaking data migration bottlenecks. Experimental results demonstrate robust cross-dataset generalization in sample-level classification tasks. By enabling reliable feature extraction despite panel variability, this work establishes a methodological foundation for scalable, universal flow cytometry analysis and facilitates broader application of foundation models in immunophenotyping research.

Meandering Photo Lines: Fluid Multiscale Exploration of Photographic Archives

Jul 26, 2026

This study addresses the common limitation of existing photo browsing interfaces, which typically decouple spatial and temporal dimensions, thereby obscuring the spatiotemporal narratives embedded in personal photographic archives. To overcome this, the authors propose a river-inspired “photo stream” visualization that integrates spatial, temporal, and thematic information into a continuous, explorable meandering path. The system combines two complementary views: a grid-based clustered overview for macro-level context and a curved-detail view for micro-level exploration. Employing collapsible interactions and animated transitions, it enables seamless multiscale navigation. Evaluations on two large-scale datasets—one comprising 100,000 photographs from the Jewish diaspora and another with 20,000 personal mobile photos—demonstrate that the approach successfully unifies analytical scrutiny with curiosity-driven, immersive exploration.
