Lightweight exon/intron classifier built on Evo-2 embeddings.

A demo notebook for using the classifier can be found here: https://github.com/ArcInstitute/evo2/blob/main/notebooks/exon_classifier/exon_classifier.ipynb.

A description of the methods for training the classifier can be found in our preprint:
