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.
Also used, purpose not recorded
Compared against in other papers (14)
19 tables from 14 papers 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.

RankNovo reranks the candidates of six base models. Casanovo V2 and ContraNovo are the released models; ByNovo is RankNovo's own in-house model, with an auxiliary b/y ion-annotation head (its Appendix B.4); R-Casanovo, R-ContraNovo and R-ByNovo are reverse-decoding versions of the three, trained by RankNovo's authors and recorded as the 'reverse decoding' variant. All six were trained on MassIVE-KB and evaluated zero-shot. '†' marks a model that is both baseline and base model, '⋆' one the authors trained. The plain Casanovo row repeats the values other papers print for Casanovo (0.749 and 0.537 on Bacillus) and the paper does not say where they come from. THE TEXT AND THE TABLE DISAGREE on V1: the prose gives RankNovo an amino-acid precision of 0.829 and a peptide recall '6.1%' above ByNovo; the table prints 0.824, and 0.660 against ByNovo's 0.623. The table's values are recorded.
Table1
Universal Biological Sequence Reranking for Improved De Novo Peptide Sequencing, page 7: Evaluation of RankNovo in comparison to baseline and base models on the 9-species-V1 and 9-species-V2 test sets. Bolded entries indicate the best-performing models. The symbol “†” indicates that the model serves as both a baseline and a base model. “⋆” signifies that the base models were developed and trained by us. Here, ByNovo is the best base model. So the performance of three self-trained base models (R-Casa, R-Contra, R-By) is only provided in Appendix D.1.
