abstract: Implements supervised cell type-aware non-negative matrix factorization
  (NMF) for dimensional reduction in single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. The package
  provides methods for incorporating cell type information into the dimensionality
  reduction process, enabling improved visualization and downstream analysis of single-cell
  data while preserving biological structure. CellMentor employs a unique loss function
  that simultaneously minimizes variation within known cell populations while maximizing
  distinctions between different cell types, enabling effective transfer of learned
  patterns from labeled reference datasets to new unlabeled data.
