## 🧩 Model Overview
**GALAX** is a graph-augmented language model designed for explainable target prioritization in precision medicine. It combines three key components:
- **LLaMA3-8B-Instruct** as the language backbone, further adapted with the BioMedGraphica corpus and fine-tuned on Target-QA.
- **Graph Attention Network (GAT)** pretrained on integrated multi-omics data and BioMedGraphica knowledge graphs.
- **A reinforcement-guided subgraph generator** that enables interpretable reasoning by constructing biologically meaningful subgraphs from multi-omics and knowledge graph signals.
By jointly leveraging **multi-omics features**, **protein–protein interactions**, and **disease–target associations**, GALAX provides an interpretable framework for **CRISPR target prioritization** across diverse cancer cell lines. To support benchmarking and reproducibility, we also introduce the **[Target-QA dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/FuhaiLiAiLab/Target-QA)**.

## 🚀 How to Use
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
import os, torch
# 1. Load GALAX language model
model_id = "FuhaiLiAiLab/GALAX"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
lm_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_id,
device_map="auto",
torch_dtype="auto"
)
# 2. Access graph foundation model
repo_path = snapshot_download(model_id)
combined_model_path = os.path.join(repo_path, "best_combined_model.pt")
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
best_combined_model = torch.load(combined_model_path, map_location=device)
```
