Merged summary

TL;DR - ScreenShot is a hierarchical transformer that predicts combination-drug responses from a few observations on a new patient, without molecular profiling or fine-tuning. It could reduce screening costs while improving personalized treatment selection.

  • Pretrained on 40 datasets spanning 3,700 drugs and 6,000 biological samples.
  • Uses in-context learning over functional measurements to make few-shot predictions.
  • Outperformed baselines on four held-out datasets in accuracy and selective-treatment identification.
  • Its active-learning strategy matched uniform screening’s hit detection using one-third of the budget.
