Fig. 3: Comprehensive evaluation of ERNIE-RNA’s zero-shot structure prediction performance.
From: ERNIE-RNA: an RNA language model with structure-enhanced representations

a Scatter plot comparing per-sample binary F1-scores between zero-shot ERNIE-RNA and RNAfold on the bpRNA-1m test set. Each point represents an individual RNA sequence, with points above the diagonal indicating superior performance by ERNIE-RNA. The results demonstrate that ERNIE-RNA achieves comparable or better performance than conventional methods without any fine-tuning. b Comparison of zero-shot prediction performance between ERNIE-RNA and RNA-FM on the RIVAS TestSetB dataset. c Visualization of ERNIE-RNA’s attention maps capturing pseudoknot structures in two representative RNA sequences. Colored boxes highlight the base-pairing interactions forming pseudoknot structures, with corresponding patterns visible in the attention maps below.
