What am I looking at?
Each point is one single cell from the CELLxGENE Census: its learned-identity sample summary token, reduced to two dimensions. Cells that the model represents similarly sit close together.
This map contains the exported exp8 cells, balanced across labels and studies; it is not the whole training corpus. Cell types and CELLxGENE datasets are annotations added after training. Nearby cells may share biology, technical effects, or both.
