Day 1: 27th May @ 12:45
Generating living datasets and public benchmarking opportunities for sequence-to-function prediction models
Public databases, such as the PDB, and community-driven benchmarking, such as CASP, have advanced the state of the art of sequence-to-structure prediction. Align to Innovate, a scientific non-profit, is building upon these successes to address protein sequence-to-function prediction. We will discuss initial results from our suite of programs aiming to create living datasets for machine learning and benchmarking opportunities for sequence-to-function ML models, supported by automated, open-source methods.
Day 1: 27th May @ 16:30
Paving the way for future success-Can we set up research designed for digital sustainability?
- How can we ensure that digital investments in research remain adaptable, accessible, and relevant over time?
- How can adaptable digital tools balance initial investment with long-term financial sustainability?
- How to ensure knowledge retention and access to work that has been done before?
- How to manage a bottom-up approach with cultural, change, and attitude shifts?
