  "summary": "Sequence-only predictors can score RNAs without experimental structures, but continuously updated training pools can reabsorb benchmark chains. Test overlap and within-training redundancy are often handled together, although they affect evaluation differently. DUET combines a relational graph tower with two convolutional sequence towers built on frozen RNA language models. We removed 98 of 388…",
