Machine learning for RNA 2D structure prediction benchmarked on experimental data.

ABSTRACT: Since the 1980s, dozens of computational methods have addressed the problem of predicting RNA secondary structure. Among them are those that follow standard optimization approaches and, more recently, machine learning (ML) algorithms. The former were repeatedly benchmarked on various datasets. The latter, on the other hand, have not yet undergone extensive analysis that could suggest to the user which algorithm best fits the problem to be solved. In this review, we compare 15 methods that predict the secondary structure of RNA, of which 6 are based on deep learning (DL), 3 on shallow learning (SL) and 6 control methods on non-ML approaches. We discuss the ML strategies implemented and perform three experiments in which we evaluate the prediction of (I) representatives of the RNA equivalenc
