arXiv:2609. 31181v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Black-box model identification works by scoring a model's response to natural-language prompts.
The paper introduces FateMultiplicity, a label‑free framework that builds a Rashomon set of statistically admissible models for single‑cell trajectory inference by cross‑fitting held‑out genes and non‑inferiority testing. It shows that model multiplicity is large and depends more on the diversity of the model space than its size, and that per‑cell certified fate margins do not improve assignment reliability compared to baseline models. The study also identifies two robust constructions— a margin‑erosion ratio for branch‑point detection and a certification filter that reduces disagreement with clonal outcomes— that merit further investigation.
ARGUS is an evidence‑constrained framework that separates deterministic biological computation from large‑language‑model reasoning to interpret single nucleotide variants in noncoding regulatory regions. It uses 458 DNABERT‑based transcription factor binding models within a hypothesis‑directed loop where a planner selects evidence sources, a verifier interprets observations, and the investigation path adapts to uncertainty. In a case study of variant rs6983267, ARGUS generated divergent investigative trajectories for four transcription factors, demonstrating how real experimental data from ADASTRA, JASPAR, and ENCODE cCRE guide conclusions and how the LLM planner can reduce unnecessary tool calls.
arXiv:2608. 14929v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-weight language models are fine-tuned, quantized, pruned, and merged, yet their provenance is often undocumented.
GenoBERT is a transformer-based, reference‑free model that tokenizes phased genotypes and uses self‑attention to capture short‑ and long‑range linkage disequilibrium. Benchmarking on the Louisiana Osteoporosis Study and the 1000 Genomes Project shows GenoBERT outperforms four baseline methods, achieving an overall imputation accuracy of about 0.98 at up to 25% missing data and maintaining r² > 0.90 even at 50% missingness across multiple ancestries. The model’s 128‑SNP context window is sufficient to capture local correlation structures, and it remains robust to small sample sizes and weak LD, offering a scalable solution for genotype imputation without relying on reference panels.
arXiv:2608. 08139v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Establishing the provenance of a language model---including its base checkpoint and possible overlap in training distributions---is a governance challenge that metadata alone cannot resolve.
