Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Predicting the fitness impact of mutations is central to protein engineering but constrained by limited assays relative to the size of sequence space. Protein language models (pLMs) trained with masked language modeling (MLM) exhibit strong zero-shot fitness prediction; we provide an interpretive lens by regarding natural evolution as implicit reward maximization and MLM as inverse reinforcement...
