Held-out-clade classification

Held-out-clade classification asks how well sequence-based classification works when a defined taxonomic group is absent from training.

Choosing an evaluation

Specify both the taxonomic level that is withheld and the level that is predicted. BarcodeBERT’s unseen-species genus probe illustrates why these differ: species can be unseen while their genera remain represented. A benchmark must document which reference sequences and labels remain available before interpreting a result as taxonomic generalisation.

Task scope

This is a task guide, not a single versioned benchmark protocol. The connected resources provide examples or concrete procedures. A candidate method or proposed control is not evidence that an evaluation has been completed.

Profile review details

Reviewed named primary documentation and existing protocol records. Editorial task scope is distinguished from source-reported procedures. No model execution or new numerical result; a reviewed guide is not a complete runnable protocol.

Stable record: catalog-task-heldout-clade

Applicable tests and references

Applicability is distinct from a completed evaluation.

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.
