Baker • mentored by Dr. Iqram Hussain    Abstract    CALNet is a deep-learning pipeline built to identify eclipsing binaries in TESS light-curve data. Eclipsing binaries are pairs of stars whose brightness changes in a repeating pattern when one star passes in front of the other. Establishing a reliable baseline for this task is important because future classifier extensions need a stable starting point. This project asks how much of the public CALNet baseline can be reconstructed, implemented, and run faithfully enough to support later model development.    To answer that question, I used the published paper, public repository, and author clarification to reconstruct the positive-sample manifest, generate a conservative negative candidate pool, stage a TESS sectors 1–10 slice, preprocess the data, and rebuild CALNet-style light-curve and GLS training inputs. I then ran the unchanged public baseline path on Google Colab Pro GPU, changing only the compute environment so the training could finish more reliably.    The completed 30-epoch run on 11,553 reconstructed rows achieved 95.18% accuracy, 94.72% recall, 95.63% precision, and 95.18% F1. These results show that a meaningful public-baseline reconstruction of CALNet is possible and can produce strong classification performance on a reconstructed slice. At the same time, exact historical reproduction of the final published model is still limited by missing artifacts, including the original negative-manifest workflow, original checkpoint, and full iterative retraining history. This reconstruction gives us a credible baseline for future scaling experiments and later con<a href="https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/research-and-scholarship/2026/05/14/reconstructing-the-public-calnet-baseline-for-eclipsing-binary-classification-a-deep-learning-model-for-identifying-eclipsing-binaries/" rel="nofollow ugc">Read More</a></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/research-and-scholarship/?p=2067" rel="nofollow ugc">Stability-Aware EEG Biomarkers for Chronic Neuropathic Pain:Identifying Reliable Features Beyond Classification Accuracy</a></strong>Author :    Labonno Akter Mim    Co-Author :    Imranul Hoque Rizvee, Htet Thet, Jannatul Naima, Natasha Parker-Rauscher    Mentor:    Prof. Dr. Maryam Vatankhah     Abstract    Chronic neuropathic pain remains difficult to measure objectively, as clinical assessments rely heavily on subjective patient reports. Electroencephalography (EEG) offers a promising non-invasive approach for detecting neural signatures associated with pain. However, classification accuracy alone does not ensure that extracted EEG features are stable or generalizable across datasets. In this study, EEG data were processed using a structured pipeline in Python with the MNE framework. Power spectral density (PSD) features across standard EEG frequency bands were extracted and used to train Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest classifiers. Models were evaluated on two separate datasets and a combined dataset to assess both performance and feature stability. For Dataset 1, SVM achieved 62.5% accuracy and Random Forest achieved 68.8%. For Dataset 2, SVM achieved approximately 69% accuracy (ROC-AUC 0.753), while Random Forest achieved approximately 67% (ROC-AUC 0.733). On the combined dataset (188 samples), both models achieved an accuracy of 0.76, with SVM achieving a ROC-AUC of approximately 0.78 and Random Forest achieving approximately 0.87. Although accuracy was identical on the combined dataset, the higher ROC-AUC of Random Forest indicates better class separability. The consistency of results across datasets suggests that the extracted EEG features are stable and generalizable across subjects.    Introduction    Chronic neuropathic pain significantly impacts patient quality of life and remains challenging to diagnose objectively. Current clinical assessments rely heavily on subjective pain reports, which can vary widely across individuals. Electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a promising non-invasive technique for detecting neural patterns associated with pain perception. Recent studies have demonstrated that machine learning models can classify EEG signals related to pain and non-pain conditions. However, classification accuracy alone does not ensure that detected features are reliable or reproducible. Identifying stable EEG biomarkers that remain consistent across machine learning models and preprocessing methods is essential for developing robust EEG-based pain detection systems.    Aim    The goal of this study is to evaluate whether EEG features associated with chronic neuropathic pain remain stable and reproducible across datasets and machine learning models, while also assessing classification performance using multiple evaluation metrics.    Methodology    Data Processing    EEG recordings were processed using the MNE Python framework, including filtering, artifact removal, and quality control.    Feature Extraction    Spectral features were extracted using Power Spectral Density (PSD) across standard EEG bands: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.    Machine Learning Models    Two classifiers were evaluated:    • Support Vector Machine (SVM, RBF kernel)    • Random Forest    Evaluation    Dataset: 188 samples (94 pain, 94 non-pain), 80/20 train-test split    Metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score, ROC-AUC    Models were tested on Dataset 1, Dataset 2, and a combined dataset to assess generalizability.    Results    Dataset 1:• SVM Accuracy: 62.5%• Random Forest Accuracy: 68.8%Dataset 2:• SVM Accuracy: ~69% (ROC-AUC: 0.753)• Random Forest Accuracy: ~67% (ROC-AUC: 0.733)Combined Dataset:• Accuracy (both models): 0.76• SVM ROC-AUC: ~0.78• Random Forest ROC-AUC: ~0.87Although both models achieved identical accuracy, Random Forest demonstrated stronger class separation based on ROC-AUC.    Discussion &amp; Conclusion    Both machine learning models achieved comparable classification accuracy across datasets. However, the Random Forest model demonstrated improved discriminative capability based on ROC-AUC. These findings indicate that relying solely on classification accuracy may not fully capture model performance. Evaluating additional metrics such as ROC-AUC provides a more comprehensive understanding of model reliability. Importantly, the consistency of results across multiple datasets suggests that the extracted EEG features are stable and generalizable across subjects.

Cholesterol level tends to increase by age. By analyzing data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at National Center for Health Statistics, we explore that the factor of age has significantly affected cholesterol levels in both men and women. We have applied the hypothesis-testing method of ANOVA-Test (i.e. Analysis of Variance) to cholesterol data in men and women across three different age groups : young adults (≤35 years old), middle-aged adults (age from 36 years old to 49 years old), and senior adults (≥50 years old). In the ANOVA-Test method, we calculated group means and group variations, compared between-group variations and within-group variations, and used the statistical F-Distribution Table to figure out the critical F-value with α=0.05 in the right tail to make an accept/reject decision on the null hypothesis. Our research findings show that the age factor has a statistically significant impact on cholesterol levels for both men and women, with middle-aged adults exhibiting the highest levels. The potential reason why the middle age group of men and women has the higher cholesterol level than the other age brackets could be fast-food diet derived from time stress in the fast-line life pace in our ongoing research on correlation between fast-food diet and high<a href="https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/research-and-scholarship/2026/05/14/applying-data-analysis-skill-of-anova-test-method-to-explore-the-impacts-of-age-factor-on-cholesterol-levels-in-men-and-women/" rel="nofollow ugc">Read More</a></p>
