Deep Learning with Proteins
Fordel's Take
deep learning with proteins is cool academically, but it's currently hitting a wall of computational cost. we're talking about massive datasets and models that demand serious GPU clusters just to simulate folding. it's impressive science, sure, but translating that into a deployable solution that doesn't cost a fortune on AWS is the hard part.
I don't see this translating into immediate agency work unless someone's selling a highly specialized biotech API. the current bottleneck isn't the algorithm; it's the access to the necessary compute and the data quality. we're still wrestling with error rates and physical constraints, not just training epochs.
What To Do
Focus on smaller, constrained protein systems for feasibility testing. Impact:medium
