PAIR-Former: Budgeted Relational MIL for miRNA Target Prediction

ArXi:2602.00465v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Functional miRNA--mRNA targeting is a large-bag prediction problem: each transcript yields a heavy-tailed pool of candidate target sites (CTSs), yet only a pair-level label is observed. We formalize this regime as \emph{Budgeted Relational Multi-Instance Learning (BR-MIL)}, where at most $K$ instances per bag may receive expensive encoding and relational processing under a hard compute budget.
