Pre-Transformer Models for Longevity Science and Deep Ageing Clocks: An Empirical Analysis

2026-07-22

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The transformer now dominates artificial intelligence, and its diffusion into computational biology raises a concrete question for the ageing field: on the data that ageing research actually has, do attention-based models outperform the pre-transformer methods—penalized regression, kernel machines, tree ensembles, and the pre-2017 deep networks (multilayer perceptrons, convolutional and...
