scKDGM: KAN-guided Dynamic Graph Masked Learning for Single-Cell RNA-seq Clustering

arXiv:2606.28459v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) clustering is essential for identifying cell types, but high dimensionality, sparsity, dropout, and technical noise hinder robust expression representation and cell graph construction. Existing masked autoencoders mainly use expression recovery for feature reconstruction, while graph clustering methods usually depend on fixed KNN graphs and do not feed recovered expression back into graph optimization. We propose scKDGM, a KAN-guided dynamic graph masked learning framework for scRNA-seq clustering. scKDGM us
