#CASP16 has begun! First #RNA target R1203 is available for 3D structure prediction. It's an important regulatory element in HIV. Will #deeplearning outperform humans? predictioncenter.org/casp16/targetl…

Check out the Ribonanza paper!

First public seminar on #ribonanza results & downstream tests will be on Feb. 13, 2024, 8am Pacific by Shujun.He: 'Ribonanza: deep learning of RNA structure through dual crowdsourcing'. Zoom link at tinyurl.com/rna-sig-schedu… #rna structure #deeplearning Kaggle #CASP16

Tune in for my talk about Ribonanza, a recent kaggle competition to learn RNA structure with big data and deep learning!

Three months ago, we launched #ribonanza , hoping to accelerate progress in #deeplearning RNA structure prediction. A dual crowdsourcing effort involving chemical mapping data on ~2.1M RNA sequences Eterna and Kaggle. kaggle.com/c/stanford-rib… Results are in! 1/N

Looks like progress, but more work to do before AlphaFold #deeplearning , becomes human-competitive for RNA structure prediction: deepmind.google/discover/blog/…. 1/2

Want to help machines learn #RNA structure? Notebooks, rigorous evaluation, & a wealth of new data are available at kaggle.com/c/stanford-rib…. Enter by Nov. 30, 2023. Getting started is even easier with train_data_QUICK_START.csv, prepared by Kaggle grandmaster Shujun.He. 2/2

We can't overstate how exciting the recently launched Stanford Medicine’s Ribonanza RNA Folding competition is. More on its significance and MASSIVE potential impact in 🧵...

Will Kagglers be able to crack the RNA structure code?

Eterna players spent the spring/summer submitting 683,000 diverse sequences scanned from viruses, bacterial genomes, human genes, and extensive mutation series of known pseudoknots.

Check out Ribonanza! I will be a competition host this time!

We’ve teamed up with Kaggle and the global #deeplearning community to accelerate progress in #RNA structure prediction. Check out the new #Ribonanza challenge: kaggle.com/c/stanford-rib… 1/7

Competition launch alert! Stanford Ribonanza RNA Folding competition hosted by @rdaslab, Eterna, Stanford Medicine, Shujun.He. , HHMI NEWS

Kaggle is probably the only place where everyone is on the same leaderboard.

One of the reasons why I joined Kaggle in the first place was to move away from subjective based peer reviews and participate in competitive competitions with objective metrics without human intervention.

Now Kaggle is hosting a competition where you have to write a research…

Dual crowdsourcing: Our paper now out in Nature Machine Intelligence describes how two crowdsourced platforms, Kaggle and Eterna, came together to quickly develop highly accurate models for RNA degradation, potentially important for stabilizing RNA medicines. nature.com/articles/s4225…
