Scalable analytic eigenvalue extraction from a parahermitian matrix by Faizan A. Khattak, Ian K. Proudler, Stephan Weiss

“…Even though the approach offers benefits such as proven convergence, it has been found impractical to operate on matrices with a spatial dimension great than four. Evaluated in the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) domain, the computational bottleneck of this method is a maximum likelihood sequence (MLS) estimation, which probes a set of paths of likely associations across DFT bins, and only retains the best of these. …”

Evaluating the representational power of pre-trained DNA language models for regulatory genomics by Ziqi Tang, Nirali Somia, Yiyang Yu, Peter K. Koo

“…Our findings suggest that probing the representations of current pre-trained gLMs do not offer substantial advantages over conventional machine learning approaches that use one-hot encoded sequences. Nevertheless, highly tuned supervised models trained from scratch using one-hot encoded sequences can achieve performance competitive with or better than pre-trained models across the datasets explored in this study. …”
