Transformer-Based Active Learning for Data-Efficient Vaccine Epitope Selection in PRRS

Aspen Erlandsson Brisebois, Zahed Khatooni, Connor Burbridge, Brook Byrns, Heather L. Wilson, Sureesh Tikoo, et al.

High-fidelity molecular docking simulations can produce biologically relevant estimates of epitope-receptor binding affinity but are computationally expensive and therefore limit the number of candidates that can be screened for vaccine design. In this work, we evaluate machine l…

Exploring the Effects of Entanglement on Quantum Machine Learning of Pathogen Epitope-Receptor Binding

Aspen Erlandsson Brisebois, Luis Pablo Gonzalez Dominguez, Shivansi Prajapati, Zahed Khatooni, Heather L. Wilson, Connor Burbridge, et al.

Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) provide a flexible substrate for hybrid quantum machine learning (QML), but their practical value on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices remains an empirical question, especially because training depth and scale can introduce opti…
