But in this case AlphaFold is only marginally better than other algorithms. Since we are comparing computer algorithms (and not a human to an algorithm), it'd be like saying Usain Bolt "solved" the 100m dash when he set a new world record. Is it solved though, without knowing how fast those other algorithms are advancing?
- visarga 6y agohave you seen the performance graph? it went from 40% (other teams) to 60% (DeepMind 2 years ago) to 92% now.
- yread 6y agohere is a nice case where alphafold did way better than others https://twitter.com/TassosPerrakis/status/1333535594002132996/photo/1 https://twitter.com/TassosPerrakis/status/133353559400213299... Tassos is also a professor in structural biology. Discovering structures the experimental way. EDIT: on the other hand he also agrees that it's not the end of experimental structural biology https://twitter.com/TassosPerrakis/status/1334024678311079936 https://twitter.com/TassosPerrakis/status/133402467831107993...
- tigershark 6y agoNo it’s not. AlphaFold is a huge advancement on all the other solutions. Solutions that were based on the already massive improvement that DeepMind brought in the previous edition.
