How do you guys find the starter notebook?
Notebooks Ā· 6 Sep 2024, 00:29 Ā· 1

Am I the only one finding the starter notebook too complex? In the sense that, there are a lot of information, most of which are complicated to understand if you don't have antecedents in Biology, and the actual Machine Learning task is not well defined in the notebook, like should I predict peptide sequences or whether a sample is a false positive or not. Honestly I did not understand the task, the starter notebook looks just like a poorly written tutorial or Introduction.

Obviously all those points are my remarks and I just joinedthe competition, maybe I need more time to really comprehend the task so I'm asking if I'm the only one who has really not understood the objectives of this "Starter Notebook".

Good luck to you guys

I don't have any background in Biology, and I was eventually able to understand the notebook. It takes time, but if you go through it carefully several times and look up terms you're not familiar with, then you should be fine :)
