We pretrain protein language model based on Megatron-LM framework, and then evaluate the pretrained model results on TAPE (Tasks Assessing Protein Embeddings), which contains a set of five biologically relevant semi-supervised learning tasks. And our pretrained model achieved good performance on these tasks.

Overview

The proposal of pre-training models such as Bert have greatly promoted the development of natural language processing, improving the performance of language models. Inspired by the similarity of amino acid sequence and text sequence, we consider applying the method of pre-training language model to biological data.

Guidance

We provide pretrain and finetune code in two separate folders. If you use the pretrained model we provide, you can simply download the checkpoint and follow the finetune guide. If you want to pretrain your own model yourself, you can refer to the pretrain guide.

• Pretrain README
• Finetune README

Download ProteinLM

ProteinLM (200M)

For the pretrained model with 200 million parameters, you can download model checkpoint via GoogleDrive, or TsinghuaCloud.

ProteinLM (3B)

For the pretrained model with 3 billion parameters, you can download model checkpoint from here.

Usage

As the structure above shows, there are two stages as follows.

• Pretrain
  • Prepare dataset (PFAM)
  • Preprocess data
  • Pretrain
• Finetune
  • Convert pretrain protein model checkpoint
  • Finetune on downstream tasks

Detailed explanations are given in each folder's readme.
