Click on PDF to download from Part 3 2023: Notable innovations: a large language model (ProGen) that could generate functional protein sequences with a predictable function, with the input including tags specifying protein properties. In linguistics, a corpus is a collection of linguistic data used for research, scholarship, and teaching. Indeed, even if different corpora existed to train protein language models, the correct interpretation of the produced sequences remains a challenge. Protein evolution differed from language evolution, containing irregularities due to randomness and environmental pressure, and with a grammar that unavoidably will contain many irregularities. Finally, we had to remark on the size of the language of proteins that needs to cover millions of species on Earth, which necessitated studying the general properties of proteins rather than study...
