Behavioral phenotyping of genetic animal models currently requires labor-intensive manual feature engineering that limits reproducibility and scalability. We present GEESE, an end-to-end deep learning framework that learns behavioral representations directly from 3D pose dynamics without hand-crafted features. Using a pretrained time series foundation model, we encode movement sequences into a behavioral manifold that supports both behavior classification and genotype prediction. Evaluated across three autism-associated genetic models (CNTNAP2, CHD8, FMR1), our deep learning approach surpasses hand-crafted feature baselines in both tasks, revealing that learned representations capture genotype-specific behavioral signatures. The framework generalizes across genetic backgrounds, and an all-cohort model identifies both genetic background and genotype from movement patterns alone. We further provide HONK, an interactive intelligent tool enabling researchers without programming expertise to perform behavioral phenotyping from pose data through natural language interaction.

Eavesdropping on voice conversations presents a growing threat to personal privacy and information security. In this paper, we present RadEar, a novel RF backscatter-based system designed to enable covert voice eavesdropping through walls. RadEar consists of two key components: (i) a batteryless RF backscatter tag covertly deployed inside the target space, and (ii) an RF reader located outside the room that performs signal demodulation, voice separation, and denoising. The tag features a compact, dual-resonator design that achieves energy-efficient frequency modulation for continuous voice eavesdropping while mitigating self-interference by separating excitation and reflection frequencies. To overcome the challenges of weak signal reception and overlapping speech, the RF reader employs self-supervised learning models for voice separation and denoising, trained using a remix-based objective without requiring ground-truth labels. We fabricate and evaluate RadEar in real-world scenarios, demonstrating its ability to recover and separate human speech with high fidelity under practical constraints.
