Great to be involved in this work, applying information retrieval techniques to other types of language models - we show that cross-encoders can be used to predict if proteins will interact. We also apply our PLM-interact model for predicting virus-host interactions

PLM-interact: extending protein language models to predict protein-protein interactions 1. PLM-interact introduces a novel approach to predict protein-protein interactions (PPIs) by jointly encoding protein pairs, leveraging a method similar to “next sentence prediction” in NLP.

Can protein language models be adapted to accurately predict protein-protein interactions across different species and mutation scenarios? University of Glasgow bioRxiv "PLM-interact: extending protein language models to predict protein-protein interactions" • The prediction

Quick tip for busy people: you can improve the aesthetic of your proteins using the following commands in #ChimeraX. You can also add some shadows using the visual effects available in PowerPoint <protein emoji> ps. before the render, remove the struts using the visual display

Observation (for those not following): Universities in China have become more competitive at attracting junior academic researchers recently through facilitating corporate GPU use.
