Published comparison transcribed from the pinned source; not reproduced.

Evaluation results

1 evaluation · 6 results. Different protocols are not a single leaderboard.

Protocol: Public FEP benchmark, FEP+ accuracy against experiment · Dataset: Curated public FEP benchmark compounds (Ross et al. 2023)

Sorted by Kendall tau (of the cycle-closure-corrected absolute free energies, weighted mean over series, weight equal to compound count) (higher is better). The best value in each column is highlighted. Decimals are rounded for display; each value links to the printed value and its source.

No execution recipe has been verified for this exact configuration and evaluation. A benchmark's general instructions may use different inputs, splits or model settings.

Reproducing this published result requires matching its model configuration, data, split and scorer. Source checking or a successful smoke test does not establish score reproduction.

Evidence

Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.

Evidence table

Inspect claims, sources and review details

Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.

One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.
