A systematic imputation framework for sparse, multimodal space biology datasets: application to retinal imaging and omics from the RR9 mission

Vaishnavi Nagesh, Lauren Sanders, Sylvain V. Costes, Pinar Avci, Ayse Sigit, Amey Agarwal, Alireza Hayati, Alavia Batool, Fathi Karouia, Atul Munish Chander, Caleb M. Schmidt, Jian Gong

The paper presents a framework for imputing sparse, multimodal space biology datasets and shows that MICE-Elastic and a hybrid strategy preserve biological signal better than other methods.

Cross-Species Adaptation of RETFound for Rodent OCT Age Estimation Reveals Strong CNN Baselines in Data-Scarce Space Biology

Alireza Hayati, Jian Gong, Vaishnavi Nagesh, Pinar Avci, Ariel Yuhan Ong, Mouayad Masalkhi, Justin Engelmann, Fathi Karouia, Pearse Andrew Keane, Sylvain V. Costes, Lauren Sanders

This paper benchmarks cross-species adaptation of a human retinal model to rodent OCT for age estimation, finding that CNN baselines outperform transformer models in small-sample settings.
