Virtual cells are an emerging frontier at the intersection of artificial intelligence and biology. A key goal of these cell state models is predicting cellular responses to perturbations. The Virtual Cell Challenge is being established to catalyze progress toward this goal. This recurring and open benchmark competition from the Arc Institute will provide an evaluation framework, purpose-built datasets, and a venue for accelerating model development.
虚拟细胞是人工智能与生物学交叉领域中一个新兴的前沿领域。这些细胞状态模型的一个关键目标是预测细胞对干扰的反应。正在设立虚拟细胞挑战赛以推动朝着这一目标取得进展。这个来自Arc研究所的定期开放基准竞赛将提供一个评估框架、专门构建的数据集以及一个加速模型开发的平台。
