General Multimodal Protein Design Enables DNA-Encoding of Chemistry
Jarrid Rector-Brooks, Théophile Lambert, Marta Skreta +15
Evolution is an extraordinary engine for enzymatic diversity, yet the chemistry it has explored remains a narrow slice of what DNA can encode. Deep generative models can design new…
Path Planning for Masked Diffusion Model Sampling
Fred Zhangzhi Peng, Zachary Bezemek, Sawan Patel +5
Any order generation of discrete data using masked diffusion models (MDMs) offers a compelling alternative to traditional autoregressive models, especially in domains that lack a n…
Branched Schrödinger Bridge Matching
Sophia Tang, Yinuo Zhang, Alexander Tong +1
Predicting the intermediate trajectories between an initial and target distribution is a central problem in generative modeling. Existing approaches, such as flow matching and Schr…
Gumbel-Softmax Flow Matching with Straight-Through Guidance for Controllable Biological Sequence Generation
Sophia Tang, Yinuo Zhang, Alexander Tong +1
Flow matching in the continuous simplex has emerged as a promising strategy for DNA sequence design, but struggles to scale to higher simplex dimensions required for peptide and pr…
