Model Artifacts

Large trained models are not stored in GitHub.

The final cleaned model folder is kept locally at:

training/training_model_files/

This folder is ignored by Git because it contains large model files such as model.safetensors and training_args.bin.

The current best model is the 20k DNABERT-2 alternate-sequence model. Model artifacts should be stored in Google Drive or downloaded local storage rather than committed to the repository.

For backend use, either:

• place the final model folder at backend/models/final_model/, or
• configure the backend model path environment variable to point to training/training_model_files/.

Keep these small metadata files with the model artifact:

• metrics.json
• full_eval_metrics.json

The 20k CSV dataset is also ignored by Git:

training/csv_files_20k_alt/

Store that dataset externally or regenerate it with the training scripts and Colab notebook.

This project is for research and education only. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool.
