Aggregating Residue-Level Protein Language Model Embeddings with Optimal Transport

1. This study introduces a novel protein representation method using sliced-Wasserstein embedding (SWE) to aggregate residue-level outputs from protein language models (PLMs) into fixed-length, protein-level embeddings. SWE addresses limitations of traditional average pooling by capturing essential sequence information often lost in standard aggregation methods.

2. SWE interprets token-level embeddings as samples from a distribution and maps them onto a reference set using optimal transport, creating embeddings that retain critical information from variable-length protein sequences. This approach significantly outperforms average pooling, especially for longer sequences, by preserving details vital for accurate predictions.

3. Using SWE, small PLMs achieved comparable or superior performance to larger models with average pooling across several tasks, including drug-target interaction (DTI), enzyme commission (EC) prediction, and subcellular localization, making PLM use more accessible for researchers with limited computational resources.

4. This approach enhances interpretability, as the learned reference embeddings represent key features of protein-level tasks, providing insights into protein structure-function relationships and offering a scalable solution for protein-level prediction tasks.

@design_proteins Amazing, thanks! I was wondering which steps in the pipeline would affect ranking. For example, do novel binders have lower folding confidence due to no/bad MSA? Are the metrics we use inherently biasing for existing sequences?

[Florian Wünnemann @flowuenne]

@design_proteins Thanks for the insight from your follow up analysis @design_proteins! Did you also check how many across all 400 designs were novel? I was also thinking that the selection metrics was rather highly biasing for modification of known binders vs novel designs...

[Florian Wünnemann @flowuenne]

@_judewells @adaptyvbio Awesome to see so many different approaches to this competition by different people! How did you run your experiments? Did you use any specific tooling or did you have access to a uni HPC with "free"ish gpu access?

[Florian Wünnemann @flowuenne]

@GrapotteM @tallphil It was great to see you and hang out @GrapotteM! Your talk was honestly one of the highlights of the summit for me 👍🚀! Hope to see you at thr next summit or maybe earlier in Montreal or Barcelona ☺️!

[Florian Wünnemann @flowuenne]

@design_proteins @modal_labs @chrisfrank662 Looking forward to see how these RSO designs fare in the leader board! Did you submit any yet?
