Thanks, @paubadiam.bsky.social! That makes sense. Excited for the results 🔎.

Very well set up benchmark and informative comparisons! I might have missed it, but did you also compare the performance of the same methods using either truly paired vs synthetically paired multimodal data as input in terms of your performance evaluation metrics, in addition to network consistency?

By now, I’ve heard from many people who’ve noticed inconsistencies when using silhouette-based metrics for horizontal data integration evaluation. I hope we’ve helped shed light on why these metrics fall short and that our recommendations prove useful to you!

Lucky to have inspiring and supportive mentors by my side! @mikelove.bsky.social
