Unable to reproduce results on bpRNA

I attempted to reproduce your results on the bpRNA dataset by following the instructions in the README file.
However I got results that are different than the published ones.

# My Results
| solved | accuracy | precision | recall | f1_score | mcc | num_samples | test_set |
-----------:|------------:|------------:|----------:|-----------:|---------:|--------------:|:-----------|
| 0.00229885 | 0.000382429 | 0.304632 | 0.0637105 | 0.0917703 | 0.121859 | 1305 | bprna_ts0 |

# Expected Results (from the paper)
| solved | f1_score | mcc |
|----------|:-------------:|------:|
| 17.2% | 0.728 | 0.733 |

Perhaps I did something wrong during the setup?

Start with the README's bpRNA reproduction instructions and compare the setup and evaluation steps with the reported run on test set bprna_ts0. Confirm the discrepancy against the paper's expected results, then document the cause or the missing setup step and provide a reproducible result.
