Mask-prior-guided denoising diffusion improves inverse protein folding

Flipboard

Inverse protein folding generates valid amino acid sequences that can fold into a desired protein structure, with recent deep learning advances showing strong potential and competitive performance. However, challenges remain, such as predicting elements with high structural uncertainty, including disordered regions. To tackle such low-confidence residue prediction, we propose a mask-prior-guided denoising diffusion (MapDiff) framework that accurately captures both structural information and resi

Accumulation of cognitive debt when using an AI assistant for essay writing task

Hacker News

This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition. In a fourth session, LLM users were reassigned to Brain-only group (LLM-to-Brain), and Brain-only users were reassigned to LLM condition (Brain-to-LLM).
