While waiting for the paper, it seems to me "fitting an already formulated problem through a deep network" is not at all what AlphaFold did. Its main contribution is formulation of problem to be solved by a deep network.
- throwawaylolx 8y agoWhat do you mean? Protein folding was already formulated as a deep learning problem in prior research. DeepMind used several engineering tricks that they previously used in their other DL work.
