CONCLUSION ____________________________________________ 19 THE SPECTRUM OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE | COMPANION TO THE FPF AI INFOGRAPHIC 1 THE SPECTRUM OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Produced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the computerized ability to perform tasks commonly associated with human intelligence, including reasoning, discovering patterns and meaning, FPF.ORG generalizing, applying knowledge across spheres of application, and learning from experience. The growth of AI-based systems in recent years has garnered much attention, particularly in the sphere of Machine Learning. A subset of AI, Machine Learning (ML) systems “learn” from the success or accuracy of their outputs, and can change their processing over time, with MACHINE LEARNING minimal human intervention. But there are non-ML types of AI that, alone or in combination, lie behind the real-world applications in common use. General AI — a human-level ML Algorithms improve through experience computational system — does not yet exist. But Narrow AI exists in many fields and applications where computerized systems greatly enhance human output or outperform humans at defined tasks. This chart explains the main types of AI, their relationships to each other, and provides specific examples of how they are currently appear in our day-to-day lives. It also demonstrates how AI exists within the timeline of human knowledge and development.

BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION EMERGE FROM SCALING UNSUPERVISED LEARNING TO 250 MILLION PROTEIN SEQUENCES Alexander Rives ∗y z Siddharth Goyal ∗x Joshua Meier ∗x Demi Guo ∗x Myle Ott x C. Lawrence Zitnick x Jerry Ma y x Rob Fergus y z x ABSTRACT In the field of artificial intelligence, a combination of scale in data and model capacity enabled by unsupervised learning has led to major advances in representation learning and statistical generation. In biology, the anticipated growth of sequencing promises unprecedented data on natural sequence diversity. Learning the natural distribution of evolutionary protein sequence variation is a logical step toward predictive and generative modeling for biology. To this end we use unsupervised learning to train a deep contextual language model on 86 billion amino acids across 250 million sequences spanning evolutionary diversity. The resulting model maps raw sequences to representations of biological properties without labels or prior domain knowledge. The learned representation space organizes sequences at multiple levels of biological granularity from the biochemical to proteomic levels. Unsupervised learning recovers information about protein structure: secondary structure and residue-residue contacts can be identified by linear projections from the learned representations. Training language models on full sequence diversity rather than individual protein families increases recoverable information about secondary structure.

  • A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Sequential Conformer Search
    TorsionNet: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Sequential Conformer Search Tarun Gogineni1, Ziping Xu2, Exequiel Punzalan3, Runxuan Jiang1, Joshua Kammeraad2;3, Ambuj Tewari2, Paul Zimmerman3 1Department of EECS, University of Michigan 2Department of Statistics, University of Michigan 3Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan {tgog,zipingxu,epunzal,runxuanj,joshkamm,tewaria,paulzim}@umich.edu Abstract Molecular geometry prediction of flexible molecules, or conformer search, is a long- standing challenge in computational chemistry. This task is of great importance for predicting structure-activity relationships for a wide variety of substances ranging from biomolecules to ubiquitous materials. Substantial computational resources are invested in Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics methods to generate diverse and representative conformer sets for medium to large molecules, which are yet intractable to chemoinformatic conformer search methods. We present TorsionNet, an efficient sequential conformer search technique based on reinforcement learning under the rigid rotor approximation. The model is trained via curriculum learning, whose theoretical benefit is explored in detail, to maximize a novel metric grounded in thermodynamics called the Gibbs Score. Our experimental results show that TorsionNet outperforms the highest scoring chemoinformatics method by 4x on large branched alkanes, and by several orders of magnitude on the previously unexplored biopolymer lignin, with applications in renewable energy. TorsionNet also outperforms the far more exhaustive but computationally intensive Self-Guided Molecular Dynamics sampling method. 1 Introduction Accurate prediction of likely 3D geometries of flexible molecules is a long standing goal of com- putational chemistry, with broad implications for drug design, biopolymer research, and QSAR analysis. However, this is a very difficult problem due to the exponential growth of possible stable physical structures, or conformers, as a function of the size of a molecule.

Proteins are the major building blocks of life, and actuators of almost all chemical and biophysical events in living organisms. Their native structures in turn enable their biological functions which have a fun- damental role in drug design. This motivates predicting the structure of a protein from its sequence of amino acids, a fundamental problem in com- putational biology. In this work, we demonstrate state-of-the-art protein structure prediction (PSP) results using embeddings and deep learning models for prediction of backbone atom distance matrices and torsion angles. We recover 3D coordinates of backbone atoms and reconstruct full atom protein by optimization. We create a new gold standard dataset of proteins which is comprehensive and easy to use. Our dataset consists of amino acid sequences, Q8 secondary structures, position specific scoring matrices, multiple sequence alignment co-evolutionary features, backbone atom distance matrices, torsion angles, and 3D coordinates. We evaluate the quality of our structure prediction by RMSD on the latest Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) test data and demonstrate competitive results with the winning teams and AlphaFold in CASP13 and supersede the results of the winning teams in CASP12.

  • Protein Data Analysis
    Protein Data Analysis Group 7: Arjun Dharma, Thomas Waldschmidt, Rahil Dedhia Advisor: Dr. Peter Rose Director of the Structural Bioinformatics Laboratory at SDSC June 5, 2020 Abstract Deep Learning transformer models such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) have been widely success- ful in a variety of natural language based tasks. Recently, BERT has been applied to protein sequences and has shown some success in pro- tein prediction tasks relevant to biologists, such as secondary structure, fluorescence, and stability. To continue the investigation into BERT, we examined a new prediction task known as subcellular location, first described in DeepLoc (2017). Using BERT embeddings from a UC Berkeley research project titled Tasks Assessing Protein Embeddings (TAPE) as features for downstream modeling, we achieved a 67% test set accuracy using a support vector classifier for the 10 class classifica- tion task, and 89% using a Keras deep neural network for the binary classification task (membrane bound vs water soluble protein). Next, we created a containerized Flask app using Docker which is deployable to AWS EC2 with the ability to run on a GPU. This service allows for embedding protein sequences using pretrained models, as well as pro- viding an interface for visualizing the embedding space using principal component analysis and plotly. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 1.1 Challenge and Problem Statement ............... 3 1.1.1 Understanding Proteins ................. 3 1.1.2 Transformer Architecture and BERT .......... 5 1.1.3 Protein Embeddings and TAPE ............. 7 1.1.4 Subcellular Location ................... 8 2 Team Roles and Responsibilities 9 2.1 Assigned Roles .........................

  • Fully-Differentiable Protein Folding Powered by Energy-Based Models
    EBM-Fold: Fully-Differentiable Protein Folding Powered by Energy-based Models Jiaxiang Wu Shitong Luo Tao Shen Tencent AI Lab Peking University Tencent AI Lab [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Haidong Lan Sheng Wang Junzhou Huang Tencent AI Lab Tencent AI Lab Tencent AI Lab [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Accurate protein structure prediction from amino-acid sequences is critical to bet- ter understanding proteins’ function. Recent advances in this area largely bene- fit from more precise inter-residue distance and orientation predictions, powered by deep neural networks. However, the structure optimization procedure is still dominated by traditional tools, e.g. Rosetta, where the structure is solved via min- imizing a pre-defined statistical energy function (with optional prediction-based restraints). Such energy function may not be optimal in formulating the whole conformation space of proteins. In this paper, we propose a fully-differentiable approach for protein structure optimization, guided by a data-driven generative network. This network is trained in a denoising manner, attempting to predict the correction signal from corrupted distance matrices between Cα atoms. Once the network is well trained, Langevin dynamics based sampling is adopted to gradu- ally optimize structures from random initialization. Extensive experiments demon- strate that our EBM-Fold approach can efficiently produce high-quality decoys, compared against traditional Rosetta-based structure optimization routines. 1 Introduction arXiv:2105.04771v2 [cs.LG] 31 May 2021 The biological function of a protein is largely determined by its 3-dimensional structure [30].

    Biochemical Journal (2020) 477 4559–4580 https://doi.org/10.1042/BCJ20200781 Review Article Deep learning and generative methods in cheminformatics and chemical biology: navigating small molecule space intelligently Douglas B. Kell1,2, Soumitra Samanta1 and Neil Swainston1 1Department of Biochemistry and Systems Biology, Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, University of Liverpool, Crown St, Liverpool L69 7ZB, U.K.; 2Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for Biosustainability, Technical University of Denmark, Building 220, Kemitorvet, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark Correspondence: Douglas B. Kell ([email protected] or [email protected]) The number of ‘small’ molecules that may be of interest to chemical biologists — chemical space — is enormous, but the fraction that have ever been made is tiny. Most strategies are discriminative, i.e. have involved ‘forward’ problems (have molecule, establish proper- ties). However, we normally wish to solve the much harder generative or inverse problem (describe desired properties, find molecule). ‘Deep’ (machine) learning based on large- scale neural networks underpins technologies such as computer vision, natural language processing, driverless cars, and world-leading performance in games such as Go; it can also be applied to the solution of inverse problems in chemical biology. In particular, recent developments in deep learning admit the in silico generation of candidate molecular structures and the prediction of their properties, thereby allowing one to navigate (bio) chemical space intelligently. These methods are revolutionary but require an understanding of both (bio)chemistry and computer science to be exploited to best advantage. We give a high-level (non-mathematical) background to the deep learning revolution, and set out the crucial issue for chemical biology and informatics as a two-way mapping from the discrete nature of individual molecules to the continuous but high-dimensional latent representation that may best reflect chemical space.

Abstract: Obtaining an accurate description of protein structure is a fundamental step toward under- standing the underpinning of biology. Although recent advances in experimental approaches have greatly enhanced our capabilities to experimentally determine protein structures, the gap between the number of protein sequences and known protein structures is ever increasing. Computational protein structure prediction is one of the ways to fill this gap. Recently, the protein structure prediction field has witnessed a lot of advances due to Deep Learning (DL)-based approaches as evidenced by the suc- cess of AlphaFold2 in the most recent Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP14). In this article, we highlight important milestones and progresses in the field of protein structure prediction due to DL-based methods as observed in CASP experiments. We describe advances in various steps of protein structure prediction pipeline viz. protein contact map prediction, protein distogram prediction, protein real-valued distance prediction, and Quality Assessment/refinement. We also highlight some end-to-end DL-based approaches for protein structure prediction approaches.
