Zero-shot segmentation using embeddings from a protein language model identifies functional regions in the human proteome Author summary Understanding protein function has been a major focus of computational biology for decades. Classical approaches have used amino acid sequences and compositional biases that are conserv...

Sangster’s paper in PLoS Comp Biol shows how β€œZero-shot segmentation using embeddings from a protein language model identifies functional regions in the human proteome”!
They apply zero-shot segmentation without training/fine-tuning, so can generalize to rare and poorly annotated protein segments!
