Full-Frequency Temporal Patching and Structured Masking for Enhanced Audio Classification
Transformers and State-Space Models (SSMs) have advanced audio classification by modeling spectrograms as sequences of patches. However, existing models such as the Audio Spectrogram Transformer (AST) and Audio Mamba (AuM) adopt square patching from computer vision, which disrupts continuous frequency patterns and produces an excessive number of patches, slowing training, and increasing computation. We propose Full-Frequency Temporal Patching (FFTP), a patching strategy that better matches the …

The Open-Source Photochem Code: A General Chemical and Climate Model for Interpreting (Exo)Planet Observations
With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, we are firmly in the era of exoplanet atmosphere characterization. Understanding exoplanet spectra requires atmospheric chemical and climate models that span the diversity of planetary atmospheres. Here, we present a more general chemical and climate model of planetary atmospheres. Specifically, we introduce the open-source, one-dimensional photochemical and climate code Photochem, and benchmark the model against the observed compositions and c…

Predicting Microbial Ontology and Pathogen Risk from Environmental Metadata with Large Language Models
Traditional machine learning models struggle to generalize in microbiome studies where only metadata is available, especially in small-sample settings or across studies with heterogeneous label formats. In this work, we explore the use of large language models (LLMs) to classify microbial samples into ontology categories such as EMPO 3 and related biological labels, as well as to predict pathogen contamination risk, specifically the presence of E. Coli, using environmental metadata alone. We ev…

True.
OTOH: The same is true for TB, flu, measles, and a slate of other potentially severe diseases floating around.
#Covid is not a qualitatively new threat, it's the latest in a long line of pathogens that we have become accustomed to just living with. For a long time measles left the list, but it is now back and it is at least as harmful as Covid.
I don’t have a magic bullet.…

AVON: So, one of your pilots was infected with an alien pathogen.
C.A. TWO: That's right.
AVON: Why didn't he report the sickness, warn you to have quarantine ready?
