Democratizing protein language models with parameter-efficient fine-tuning.

ABSTRACT: Proteomics has been revolutionized by large protein language models (PLMs), which learn unsupervised representations from large corpora of sequences. These models are typically fine-tuned in a supervised setting to adapt the model to specific downstream tasks. However, the computational and memory footprint of fine-tuning (FT) large PLMs presents a barrier for many research groups with limited computational resources. Natural language processing has seen a similar explosion in the size of models, where these challenges have been addressed by methods for parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT). In this work, we introduce this paradigm to proteomics through leveraging the parameter-efficient method LoRA and training new models for two important tasks: predicting protein-protein interactions (
