  "summary": "Spatial transcriptomics keeps measurement of gene expression while preserving spatial context, yet traditional analysis methods face challenges in computational efficiency, biological interpretability, and autonomous discovery. This project presents a framework solving these issues through three parts: (1) an ensemble clustering system achieving 66.7% improvement over baseline average and 23.9%…",
