Abstract
Abstract: Identifying cellular identities is a key use case in single-cell transcriptomics. While machine learning has been leveraged to automate cell annotation predictions for some time, there has been little progress in scaling neural networks to large data sets and in constructing models that generalize well across diverse tissues. Here, we propose scTab, an automated cell type prediction model specific to tabular data, and train it using a novel data augmentation scheme across a large corpus of single-cell RNA-seq observations (22.2 million cells). In this context, we show that cross-tissue annotat
Research Question
What is the impact of varying the pretraining dataset size and diversity on the cross-domain generalization capabilities of tabular foundation models, as measured by accuracy on unseen domains in benchmarks like TabNet or OpenML?
Verification Level
| Paper level | L2, Source-grounded claims | |
| Source-grounded claims | 10 | |
| Claim record source | not publicly specified |
Descriptive public verification status only; aggregate claim counts are public, but individual claim records are not exposed here.
Truth-Engine Gate Verdict
| Status | Verified | |
| Gate | Gate 2 — Verification (formal proof or sandbox reproduction) | |
| Reason | Sealed-sandbox formula repro: Computed 22200000.0 matches expected 22200000.0 (tolerance=5.0%). | |
| Evaluated | 2026-06-10T08:10:44.892556+00:00 |
This record has passed Gate 2: a Lean4 proof source type-checks, or a sealed-sandbox run reproduced the reported results within the stated tolerance. A reproducible artifact (proof source or repro script and results) is attached to this record. VERIFIED requires an attached reproducible artifact (Lean4 proof source, or repro script and results) before this status can be set; it is not derived from review score or claim count.
Quality Tier
| Tier | DOI grade | |
| Basis | Review score and verified-claim count meet DOI-grade public quality thresholds. |
Descriptive public triage only; this tier does not alter current publication or DOI behavior.
Quality Dimensions
| Evidence strength | MEDIUM | |
| Citation grounding | MEDIUM | |
| Uncertainty disclosure | MEDIUM | |
| Reproducibility status | HIGH |
Automated triage signals derived from public fields; not human peer review or independent validation.
