About the Evaluation Form

The Gene Review Evaluation Form is designed to collect detailed expert feedback on AI-generated gene annotations. Unlike the quick thumbs up/down voting system on individual annotations, this form allows you to provide comprehensive feedback on entire gene reviews.

🎯Targeted Feedback

Evaluate specific aspects of gene annotation including accuracy, completeness, and biological relevance

⚡Pre-filled Data

When accessed from a gene page, the form automatically fills in the species and gene information

📊Structured Questions

Answer both multiple choice and free-text questions to provide nuanced feedback

🔬Expert Input

Share your domain expertise to help train and improve the AI curation system

How It Works

Navigate to a Gene Review

Browse to any gene review page in the AI Gene Review system

Click "Provide Detailed Feedback"

Find the green feedback button in the header of any gene review page

Form Opens Pre-filled

The evaluation form opens with the Species/Gene field automatically populated (e.g., "ARATH BRI1", "human CFAP300")

Complete Your Evaluation

Answer questions about annotation quality, suggest improvements, and provide expert insights

Submit Feedback

Your feedback is collected and used to improve the AI curation system

💡 Pro Tip: Direct Access

You can also access the form directly at https://go.lbl.gov/gene-eval and manually enter the Species/Gene information. The format should match the directory structure:

Evaluation vs. Quick Voting

Feature Quick Voting (👍/👎) Evaluation Form
Time Required < 1 second per annotation 5-10 minutes per gene
Feedback Type Binary (agree/disagree) Detailed qualitative & quantitative
Scope Individual annotations Entire gene review
Best For Quick validation of AI decisions In-depth expert review
Anonymous Yes (session-based) Optional (can provide contact)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who should use the evaluation form?
A: The form is designed for domain experts, curators, and researchers familiar with gene function and GO annotation principles. However, anyone with biological knowledge can provide valuable feedback.
Q: How long does it take to complete an evaluation?
A: Most evaluations take 5-10 minutes, depending on the complexity of the gene and the depth of feedback you wish to provide. You can save progress and return later if needed.
Q: What happens to my feedback?
A: Your feedback is aggregated with other expert evaluations to identify patterns in AI performance, guide system improvements, and refine the curation algorithms. Individual responses may be reviewed by the development team to understand specific issues.
Q: Can I evaluate multiple genes?
A: Yes! We encourage evaluating multiple genes, especially if you have expertise in specific gene families or pathways. Each evaluation helps improve the system.
Q: Is my evaluation anonymous?
A: The form includes an optional field for your email if you'd like to be contacted about your feedback or participate in follow-up discussions. You can leave this blank to remain anonymous.
Q: What if the pre-filling doesn't work?
A: If the Species/Gene field isn't pre-filled when clicking from a gene page, you can manually enter the information. Use the format: [organism_code] [gene_symbol], for example: human TP53 or ARATH BRI1.
Q: Can I edit my evaluation after submitting?
A: Currently, evaluations cannot be edited after submission. However, you can submit multiple evaluations for the same gene if you have additional feedback.
Q: How do I know which genes need evaluation?
A: All genes in the system can benefit from expert evaluation. Priority genes are those with complex functions, conflicting annotations, or those marked with "UNDECIDED" actions. Check the statistics report for genes with the most uncertainty.
Q: What's the difference between this and GitHub issues?
A: The evaluation form is for structured feedback on specific gene reviews, while GitHub issues are for bug reports, feature requests, and general project feedback. Use the form for annotation quality, and GitHub for technical issues.
