How it works

How the evaluated method works

Modified transformer blocks combine sequence attention with a hybrid convolutional branch operating on motif-energy maps. Squeeze-and-excitation recalibrates channels, while pair attention integrates thermodynamic priors into base-pair prediction.

review date: 2026-09-17; rationale: This source-scoped entry preserves the method/configuration actually named in an evaluation. It is neither a global family identity nor proof of an immutable checkpoint; the linked evaluation retains adaptation, fitting and scoring details.; source ids: bpfold-2025; source locator: Methods/Deep neural network with base pair attention (paragraph 1); Methods/Deep neural network with base pair attention (paragraph 4) | Discussion (paragraph 5); Abstract (paragraph 2); ambiguities: Configuration means the source-labelled evaluated identity. It does not establish missing checkpoint hashes, default settings or equivalence to same-named records in other papers.
