A General Description of Linear Time-Frequency Transforms and Formulation of a Fast, Invertible Transform That Samples the Continuous S-Transform Spectrum Nonredundantly
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Examining the frequency content of signals is critical in many applications, from neuroscience to astronomy. Many techniques have been proposed to accomplish this. One of these, the S-transform, provides simultaneous time and frequency information similar to the wavelet transform, but uses sinusoidal basis functions to produce frequency and globally referenced phase measurements. It has shown promise in many medical imaging applications but has high computational requirements. This paper presents a general transform that describes Fourier-family transforms, including the Fourier, short-time Fourier, and S- transforms. A discrete, nonredundant formulation of this transform, as well as algorithms for calculating the forward and inverse transforms are also developed. These utilize efficient sampling of the time-frequency plane and have the same computational complexity as the fast Fourier transform. When configured appropriately, this new algorithm samples the continuous S-transform spectrum efficiently and nonredundantly, allowing signals to be transformed in milliseconds rather than days, as compared to the original S-transform algorithm. The new and efficient algorithms make practical many existing signal and image processing techniques, both in biomedical and other applications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
