We introduce TCRconv, a deep learning model for predicting recognition between T-cell receptors and epitopes. TCRconv uses a deep protein language model and convolutions to extract contextualized motifs and provides state-of-the-art TCR-epitope prediction accuracy. Using TCR repertoires from COVID-19 patients, we demonstrate that TCRconv can provide insight into T-cell dynamics and phenotypes during the disease.

Matching journals

The top 3 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
