By using a sparse autoencoder, Prof Bonnie Berger and her @lab_berger students are uncovering how protein language models make predictions. "Identifying features that protein language models track has the potential to reveal novel biological insights from these representations."

“AI is a powerful tool that has left underserved communities without representation, and I want to change this,” MIT alumna Faith Baca says. betterworld.mit.edu/spectrum/issue… @MITMath @MITEECS @MIT_alumni @MIT_Spectrum

Excited to share our recent work: Sparse autoencoders uncover biologically interpretable features in protein language model representations now in PNAS. Thread below 🧵
