Species-specific small models for cell type classification approach the performance of large single cell foundation models

Gita Mahmoudabadi, Lakshmi Krishnan, Tejaswini Ganapathi…·Theofanis Karaletsos

The paper introduces CytoType and ESM-CE, species-specific small models for cell type classification that achieve performance comparable to large foundation models with fewer parameters.
