Protein data #79

according to https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.06.597716v1.full.pdf "Using the UniParc database with 250 million protein sequences, research on ESM [72] shows that the datasets UR50/S and UR50/D, with 45M and 65M unique sequences respectively, outperform Uniref100 in perplexity (PPL) on a ~670M parameter MLM model."

If you take a look at figure 1 from that paper, they basically show that there is quite significant diminishing returns from using things beyond Uniref50. It notes later that basically uniref90/50 are the best. This is interesting for training sparser models.

It also implies that metagenomic isn't actually that important. Fascinating.

Specifically, I'm thinking about how to distribute tokenized protein data. But from this, it doesn't look like that is necessary. So I'm closing.
