How to Spend Your Oracle Budget: Practical Guidance for Protein Structure Prediction Models

Aleksandra Kalisz, Jack Simons, Krisztina Sinkovics +4

Foundation models for protein structure prediction remain unreliable on certain targets. External oracles can flag and correct these failures, but biological oracles are expensive,…
