Preferential CDR masking in paired antibody language models improves binding affinity prediction

Mahtab Talaei, Kenji C. Walker, Boran Hao…·Diane Joseph‐McCarthy

This paper shows that focusing on complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) in antibody sequences improves binding affinity prediction using region-aware pretraining strategies.
