Short description of content:

(will be held in english)
In this project, students will reimplement published deep learning models for predicting gene expression responses to perturbation. They will then assess these models using a variety of metrics and critically evalute the results in terms of biological relevance, addressing an ongoing debate in the field regarding evaluation standards.
