Multi-modal transformer for signal classification in nanopore blockade experiments

Sandro Kuppel, Julian Hoßbach, Samuel Tovey, Christian Holm

Nanopore devices have emerged as powerful tools for single-molecule sensing, with potential for rapid, portable diagnostics. They detect changes in ionic current as analytes enter nanometer-scale pores, providing a means of identifying diverse biomarkers from their characteristic signal patterns. However, these signals are highly complex, and reliably assigning them to specific molecules remains a major challenge. Here, we address this by introducing a multi-modal deep learning architecture that jointly processes multiple signal representations, including raw time-series data, wavelet-based images, and static feature vectors. Our approach surpasses existing methods by more than 10 percentage points on a 42-peptide benchmark and transfers to a 20-amino-acid dataset with near-perfect accuracy. The model integrates complementary information from these representations, with attention analysis showing that the time-series and wavelet-image inputs emphasize different features of the same event. Together, these results demonstrate the potential of machine learning to enable robust, high-accuracy molecular identification with nanopore sensors.

Latent PDE mapping for efficient physics-informed learning across geometries with limited data

Ingvild Askim Adde, Mary M. Maleckar, Gabriel Balaban

In this study, we introduce latent PDE mapping, a broadly applicable physics-informed learning technique designed to enable efficient geometric generalization with sparse training data. Latent PDE mapping pulls back geometry-specific PDE residuals and boundary conditions to a pre…

Transcript-Managed Transformers: Monotone Multi-Agent Collapse and Universality with Two Pop-Enabled Transcripts

Sergey Salishev

We study transcript management for fixed, finite-precision causal Transformers. A transcript is partitioned into channels of bounded blocks. Each transition consults a fixed visible suffix and may append one block, leaving the model, weights, and token protocol unchanged. The ope…
