A 10,000-read subset of CAMI II Sample_0 from the human-microbiome collection. Queries are classified against the paper’s separately assembled metagenomic reference/training data. Macro-F1 is the arithmetic mean of classwise F1; only classes present in the evaluated subset enter the macro calculation. NCD-gzip and Kraken2.

What is still missing
- Table 5 prints NCD only. Narrative compares Kraken2 but supplies no paired numerical Kraken2 row; do not manufacture a two-model chart.
- Do not attach five-fold Human DNA results from Table 3 to CAMI II.

Strengths and limitations
Limitations and conditions
- The subsample contains only Bacteria at superkingdom level, so that result does not establish broad multiclass discrimination. Phylum and superkingdom are separate catalogue outcomes.

- review date: 2026-09-17; rationale: This source-scoped record identifies the biological prediction task and holds its paper context. Preserve the existing task identity; exact split, model adaptation and scoring remain in linked evaluations or separate protocol records.; source ids: ncd-metagenomics-2026; source locator: Methods: Evaluation protocol; Results: CAMI II; cached text lines 67–68, 113–116; ambiguities: A paper- or suite-specific task may constrain some inputs or metrics; that alone does not make it interchangeable with a complete versioned protocol. No protocol equivalence is inferred.; Some legacy profile Entity type facts use the generic phrase computational evaluation protocol. That boilerplate is not sufficient to establish a single fixed protocol identity or to merge this task with another protocol record.
