• Abstract: Helix is an open-source, extensible, Python-based software framework to facilitate reproducible and interpretable machine learning workflows for tabular data. It addresses the growing need for transparent experimental data analytics provenance, ensuring that the entire analytical process -- including decisions around data transformation and methodological choices -- is documented, accessible, reproducible, and comprehensible to relevant stakeholders. The platform comprises modules for standardised data preprocessing, visualisation, machine learning model training, evaluation, interpretation, results inspection, and model prediction for unseen data. To further empower researchers without formal training in data science to derive meaningful and actionable insights, Helix features a user-friendly interface that enables the design of computational experiments, inspection of outcomes, including a novel interpretation approach to machine learning decisions using linguistic terms all within an integrated environment. Released under the MIT licence, Helix is accessible via GitHub and PyPI, supporting community-driven development and promoting adherence to the FAIR principles.

  We propose Representation Reprogramming via Dictionary Learning (R2DL) for adversarially reprogramming pretrained language models for molecular learning tasks. The adversarial program learns a linear transformation between a dense source model input space (language data) and a sparse target model input space (e.g., chemical and biological molecule data) using a k-SVD solver. R2DL achieves the baseline established by state of the art toxicity prediction models trained on domain-specific data and outperforms the baseline in a limited training-data setting.
