Nucleotide Transformer v2 and Nucleotide Transformer: GENEB leaderboard (leaderboard.json, 13 task-type aggregates) reverses the order
- Low severity
- Not yet reviewed
- Ordering reversal
- different-task
GENEB leaderboard (leaderboard.json, 13 task-type aggregates) ranks Nucleotide Transformer above Nucleotide Transformer v2 in 37 of 44 comparisons; 2 of 2 other studies rank Nucleotide Transformer v2 above Nucleotide Transformer.
An automatic lead, not a finding of error. The results below are shown as published, everywhere on the site, until a reviewer decides otherwise.
Which studies agree
2 papers rank Nucleotide Transformer v2 above Nucleotide Transformer in 33 of their 46 comparisons and Nucleotide Transformer higher in 7; 6 are ties. GENEB leaderboard ranks Nucleotide Transformer above Nucleotide Transformer v2 in 37 of its 45 comparisons and Nucleotide Transformer v2 higher in 7; 1 is a tie.
- Rank Nucleotide Transformer v2 higher (2): NABench, Nucleotide Transformer
- Rank Nucleotide Transformer higher (1): GENEB leaderboard (disagrees)
- Mixed (0): none
Each paper sits where at least two thirds of its comparisons point; Mixed means neither model reaches two thirds. The larger, outlined dot is the paper that disagrees.
