The SE module recalibrates spectral features to enhance characteristic peaks of Ca, Si, Fe, and Al, while the autoencoder enforces spectral morphology preservation and implicit denoising. Crucially, the multi-branch regression outputs element concentrations alongside input-dependent uncertainty estimates, enabling adaptive task weighting via heteroscedastic negative log-likelihood.
