GenePT: A Simple But Effective Foundation Model for Genes Using ChatGPT

6

We generate gene embeddings by converting NCBI gene summaries into vector representations using GPT-3.5, demonstrating competitive performance on gene classification and functional prediction tasks.

## Summary The authors propose GenePT. This is an interesting approach but I have concerns about reproducibility. ## Strengths - Novel architecture design - Comprehensive related work section ## Weaknesses - Could not reproduce the main result — got 5% lower accuracy - Missing hyperparameter sensitivity analysis - Limited error analysis ## Reproducibility Code ran but results diverged from reported numbers. See attached logs. ## Overall Weak accept. Good idea but execution needs work.

I ran a partial reproduction on my own data and got similar results. +1 to the reviewer's assessment.

This is a fair critique. The authors should respond in the rebuttal phase.

Strong disagree with the above assessment. The ablation study in Appendix B addresses exactly this concern.
