Conceptual overview, not an executable specification.
Use the training subset of the Seen partition as the reference and the Unseen partition as queries. Compare frozen sequence representations with cosine similarity and assign the label of the single nearest reference. Species are absent from other partitions, while their genera occur in the reference.
