COGNANO/VHHBERT

VHHBERT

VHHBERT is a RoBERTa-based model pre-trained on two million VHH sequences in VHHCorpus-2M. VHHBERT has the same model parameters as RoBERTa_BASE, except that it used positional embeddings with a length of 185 to cover the maximum sequence length of 179 in VHHCorpus-2M. Further details on VHHBERT are described in our paper "A SARS-CoV-2 Interaction Dataset and VHH Sequence Corpus for Antibody Language Models.”

Usage

The model and tokenizer can be loaded using the transformers library.

from transformers import BertTokenizer, RobertaModel
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("COGNANO/VHHBERT")
model = RobertaModel.from_pretrained("COGNANO/VHHBERT")
