Data
What the papers describing this method trained it on and reported its results on, as each paper states it. A version is named only where the paper names one.

Compared against in other papers (1)
2 tables from 1 paper that report this method as a baseline, newest first. The caveats of the comparisons above hold twice over: each paper ran, retrained or quoted this method its own way, so its number here is that paper’s claim, not a measurement of the method. Where a paper says which it did, the word follows the method’s name.

| De novo sequencing of DIA data | Peptide precision | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| UTI | OC | Plasma | |
| DiffNovo | 0.659 | 0.735 | 0.632 |
| DeepNovo-DIA | 0.403 | 0.417 | 0.351 |
| PepNet | 0.296 | 0.368 | 0.550 |
| Cascadia | 0.291 | 0.301 | 0.736 |
PepNet, Plasma: the printed cell reads “0.550/0.530*/0.664+”, and only 0.550 is in the table. The paper’s note: “+ Indicates the filtered peptide-level accuracy, and * indicates the peptide-level accuracy reported in [10].”
