Abstract
MOTIVATION: Microarray designs containing millions to hundreds of millions of probes that tile entire genomes are currently being released. Within the next 2 months, our group will release a microarray data set containing over 12,000,000 microarray measurements taken from 37 mouse tissues. A problem that will become increasingly significant in the upcoming era of genome-wide exon-tiling microarray experiments is the removal of cross-hybridization noise. We present a probabilistic generative model for cross-hybridization in microarray data and a corresponding variational learning method for cross-hybridization compensation, GenXHC, that reduces cross-hybridization noise by taking into account multiple sources for each mRNA expression level measurement, as well as prior knowledge of hybridization similarities between the nucleotide sequences of microarray probes and their target cDNAs. RESULTS: The algorithm is applied to a subset of an exon-resolution genome-wide Agilent microarray data set for chromosome 16 of Mus musculus and is found to produce statistically significant reductions in cross-hybridization noise. The denoised data is found to produce enrichment in multiple gene ontology-biological process (GO-BP) functional groups. The algorithm is found to outperform robust multi-array analysis, another method for cross-hybridization compensation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
