Generative models are necessary to fully capture uncertainty and conformational flexibility of protein structures, but how can we build such models? At the ICLR MLDD workshop, we'll present EigenFold, work led by Bowen Jing with undergrad students Ezra Erives and

Very cool! The Eigenmode projections reminded me of some old work where we showed that the overall structure of the protein universe—as encoded by SCOP—remains, even if one calculates the "topological" similarity between smoothened chain representations.

What's interesting is that diffusion models usually work the other way around. With more "forward noise" steps, the signal becomes mainly high-frequency and you lose all the low frequency signal.
Here, it's the opposite. You destroy the high-frequency while preserving lower freq
