ImmunoLingo: Linguistics-based formalization of the antibody language

Mai Ha Vu, Philippe A. Robert, Rahmad Akbar +4

Apparent parallels between natural language and biological sequence have led to a recent surge in the application of deep language models (LMs) to the analysis of antibody and othe…

Linguistically inspired roadmap for building biologically reliable protein language models

Mai Ha Vu, Rahmad Akbar, Philippe A. Robert +4

Deep neural-network-based language models (LMs) are increasingly applied to large-scale protein sequence data to predict protein function. However, being largely black-box models a…

Augmenting adaptive immunity: progress and challenges in the quantitative engineering and analysis of adaptive immune receptor repertoires

Alex J. Brown, Igor Snapkov, Rahmad Akbar +4

The adaptive immune system is a natural diagnostic and therapeutic. It recognizes threats earlier than clinical symptoms manifest and neutralizes antigen with exquisite specificity…
