Abstract excerpt
Protein language models, as well as models that incorporate structural information or homologous sequences, estimate the sequence likelihood p(sequence), which reflects the protein fitness landscape and is commonly used in mutation effect prediction and protein design. It is widely believed in deep learning field that larger models perform better across tasks. However, for fitness prediction, language model...
