We introduce AutoTuneX, a data-driven, AI system designed to automatically predict optimal parameters for transcript assemblers -- tools for reconstructing expressed transcripts from the reads in a given RNA-seq sample. AutoTuneX is built by learning parameter knowledge from existing RNA-seq samples and transferring this knowledge to unseen samples. On 1588 human RNA-seq samples tested with two transcript assemblers, AutoTuneX predicts parameters that resulted in 98% of samples achieving more accurate transcript assembly compared to using default parameter settings, with some samples experiencing up to a 600% improvement in AUC. AutoTuneX offers a new strategy for automatically optimizing use of sequence analysis tools.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
