Montparnasse introduces a novel Monte Carlo search framework that consistently outperforms the previous state-of-the-art, DesiRNA, by solving the Eterna100 V1 benchmark benchmark three times faster overall. The method leverages Generalized Nested Rollout Policy Adaptation with specific priors to achieve superior efficiency in RNA sequence design for synthetic biology and medicine. This advancement represents a significant step forward in optimizing nucleotide sequences for complex secondary structures within the RNA design domain.
The Montparnasse Algorithm for RNA Design
arXiv:2606.07562v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: RNA design consists of discovering a nucleotide sequence that optimizes predefined criteria, such as secondary structure. It is useful for synthetic biology, medicine, and nanotechnology. We propose Montparnasse, a Monte Carlo search framework based on Generalized Nested Rollout Policy Adaptation, augmented with a problem-specific prior, slow and long adaptation at level 1, and a lexicographic multicriteria evaluation. Montparnasse solves all 100 puzzles of the Eterna100 V1 benchmark consistently faster than DesiRNA, the previous state of the art, across all time limits, reaching full coverage more than three times faster overall. On messenger RNA secondary structure optimization for hemoglobin alpha, it identifies sequences with more paired bases than the MFE-optimal solution of LinearDesign.
