This guide gives concise, public-ready wording for common SpaceBio-Bench statements. Use it when writing README text, dataset cards, release notes, abstracts, talks, or issue responses.
| Topic | Use this wording | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Project name | SpaceBio-Bench / GeneLab Benchmark | SpaceBio-Bench is the forward-looking platform name; GeneLab Benchmark is the historical public name |
| Core task | Mission-held-out spaceflight transcriptomics benchmark | The independence unit is the held-out mission |
| v7.1 result surface | Canonical historical result surface for v1-v7 | Use for published result summaries and citation context |
| v7.1.2 patch | Documentation, public-card, citation, and metadata patch over canonical v7.1 results | The patch does not add new benchmark result generation |
| Hugging Face package | Processed public fold package for selected LOMO tasks | Use for direct dataset downloads |
| v9 public bulk | Public bulk metadata catalog | Use for task manifests, source records, fold indexes, audit summaries, and reference baselines |
| Foundation-model result summary | Tested gene-expression foundation models underperform tuned classical baselines on small-n bulk RNA-seq mission shift | Keep tied to the documented v7.1 result surface |
| Classical baseline summary | PCA-LR is the strongest 8-tissue gene-level baseline in v4, with mean AUROC 0.776 | Use with v7.1 canonical result context |
| Retrospective open validation | Thymus RR-23 AUROC 0.905; skin RR-7 AUROC 0.885 | Labels and historical results are public; do not describe these as blind holdouts |
| OSDR source data | Source data are derived from public NASA OSDR studies | Cite the relevant OSDR study pages |
- Report task, fold, tissue, method, feature surface, and release surface.
- Pair pooled summaries with per-task or per-fold rows.
- Treat benchmark scores as evidence for the stated benchmark task.
- Keep dataset, model, and release labels aligned across README, HF card, citation metadata, and release notes.
Use scope language that is precise and compact:
- "The public benchmark evaluates mission-held-out transcriptomics generalization."
- "The v9 public bulk surface is a metadata catalog."
- "The Hugging Face dataset provides processed public fold packages."
- "Clinical, crew-health, countermeasure, and operational-readiness use cases are outside the current benchmark scope."
Use the GitHub CITATION.cff metadata for the software and benchmark citation.
For source data, cite NASA OSDR and the individual OSDR studies used in the
analysis.
