RegNetAgents Identifies Cancer Regulatory Drivers Across Networks.
Summary
RegNetAgents is a new multi-agent AI framework designed to identify regulatory candidate genes in cancer genomics by analyzing heterogeneous gene regulatory networks from both bulk tumor and single-cell data. It performs dual-network classification, cancer gene filtering, and mode-of-action assignment, ranking candidates by evidence consistency.
Why it matters
This framework offers a powerful tool for cancer researchers and pharmaceutical companies to accelerate the identification of potential drug targets and understand disease mechanisms.
How to implement this in your domain
- 1Explore the RegNetAgents framework for identifying regulatory drivers in cancer research projects.

Decentralized PAC Learning in Turn-Based Stochastic Games
This research presents the first positive results for decentralized and private information PAC learning in turn-based stochastic games with reachability objectives. It introduces a game-theoretic generalization of the Expected Conditional Distance parameter and establishes polynomial-sample complexity bounds.
New Loss Function Improves Peak Prediction in Time Series
This paper introduces Asymmetric Peak-Aware Loss (APAL), a model-agnostic objective function that significantly improves the prediction of rare demand spikes in time series forecasting. APAL penalizes under-predictions more heavily and increases the training weight of peak regions, outperforming symmetric objectives in peak-critical applications.
New Framework for Evaluating Epistemic Uncertainty in AI
This paper proposes evaluating epistemic uncertainty based on its ability to identify regret (reducible error), moving beyond traditional metrics like OOD detection and active learning. It proves that the optimal selective predictor is a thresholded convex combination of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties.
