Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract While cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has come to prominence in the last decade due to its ability to resolve biomolecular complexes at atomic resolution, advancements in experimental and computational methods have made cryo-EM promising for investigating intracellular organization and heterogeneous molecular states. A primary challenge for these alternative applications is the development of techniques for cryo-EM data analysis, which are very computationally demanding. To this end, it is advantageous to leverage advanced scientific computing frameworks for statistical analysis. One such framework is JAX, an emerging array-oriented Python numerical computing package for automatic differentiation and vectorization with a growing ecosystem for statistical inference and machine learning. We have developed cryoJAX, a cryo-EM image simulation library for building computational data analysis applications in JAX. CryoJAX is a flexible modeling language for cryo-EM image formation and therefore can support a wide range of data analysis downstream. By integrating with the JAX ecosystem, cryoJAX enables the development and deployment of algorithms for the growing breadth of scientific applications for cryo-EM. Synopsis The authors have developed cryoJAX, a cryo-EM image simulation library for developing data analysis techniques across cryo-EM modalities. CryoJAX is built on JAX, an emerging scientific computing framework in Python well suited for cryo-EM data analysis.

Not 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.
