Reached a baseline 0.095, however i noticed gap in my output vs clean ML approach at the top leaderboard, would like to know if having better understanding of RNA structure is game winning than pure AI class engineer

@ashishjd of course domain knowledge dominates in this competition plus it is always very important in any competition. I personally, choose a competition to participate in based on how interesting the problem formulation is and if I am not familiar,\n whether I have the time to learn as much as I can about that domain.

Fair @sheriytm , I appreciate the insight on how you choose your competitions, I've definitely learned a few things in this challenge—not a PhD's worth, but enough of the basics

Thanks @ashishjd. I am also new to predicting Ribonucleic acid (RNA)’s 3D structure hence this is my 1st time of tackling this type of problem. Good luck in the private LB. I am braving for a shake up on the 4th of April😀.
