How it works

How the evaluated method works

ESM-1b (33 layers, 650M parameters) supplies 1,280 sequence features, combined with 509 existing features in the deep protective-antigen classifier. This paper does not use ESM-2 for the reported configuration.

entity classification
review date: 2026-09-17; rationale: This record identifies a composed analysis workflow with separately identifiable upstream models, representations or tools and a downstream prediction/scoring procedure. Results belong to that complete composition rather than to an upstream model alone.; source ids: vaxign-esm-2024; source locator: Methods/ESM generation of new features based on protein sequences (paragraph 1); Results/Performance analysis ESM enhance Vaxign-DL model (paragraph 3) | Results/Performance analysis ESM enhance Vaxign-DL model (paragraph 3); Methods/ESM generation of new features based on protein sequences (paragraph 2); ambiguities: This is the paper-specific pipeline identity; unspecified component checkpoints or implementation versions are not inferred from its name.
