Why It Matters
Single-cell foundation models (scGPT, scBERT, Geneformer) achieve cell-type classification accuracy up to 97.5% in our experiments, yet this aggregate accuracy can mask systematic failure on rare, often disease-relevant cell populations that long-tail loss functions are widely assumed to address.

Original description
Single-cell foundation models (scGPT, scBERT, Geneformer) achieve cell-type classification accuracy up to 97.5% in our experiments, yet this aggregate accuracy can mask systematic failure on rare, often disease-relevant cell populations that long-tail loss functions are widely assumed to address. We present a systematic benchmark of six long-tail loss functions (cross-entropy, weighted CE, class-balanced loss, focal loss, LDAM, logit-adjusted softmax) across three architectures and three datasets (Multiple Sclerosis, Zheng68K, human Pancreas), totaling 162 controlled training runs (3 backbones...
