Cherimoya genomics model lifts count score to 0.78, nearly halves VEP error

A Cherimoya team member shares that a mix of architecture and data optimizations lifted count performance from 0.72 to 0.78 while nearly halving VEP error — key changes included reducing max jitter from 500 to 50 and switching profile convolution to k=1. The thread also notes that observational holdout gains often fail to correlate with variant effect prediction, possibly linked to homology leakage, and that fitting cell-line CNAs can boost scores but ruin external validity.
