Field notes
The described pipeline encodes each amino acid as five Atchley-factor values before a convolutional neural network returns a label. The site gives a training-set size and sequence-length limit, and links a dissertation covering the data, encoding, network, and results. Its sample widget cautions that the displayed sample data is not a real prediction, so the page alone does not demonstrate a live classification.
