## ProkBERT-mini-c-promoter Model
This finetuned model is specifically designed for promoter identification and is based on the [ProkBERT-mini-c model](https://huggingface.co/neuralbioinfo/prokbert-mini-c).
For more details, refer to the [promoter dataset description](https://huggingface.co/datasets/neuralbioinfo/bacterial_promoters) used for training and evaluating this model.
### Example Usage
For practical examples on how to use this model, see the following Jupyter notebooks:
- [Training Notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/nbrg-ppcu/prokbert/blob/main/examples/Finetuning.ipynb): A guide to fine-tuning the ProkBERT-mini model for promoter identification tasks.
- [Evaluation Notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/nbrg-ppcu/prokbert/blob/main/examples/Inference.ipynb): Demonstrates how to evaluate the finetuned ProkBERT-mini-promoter model on test datasets.
### Model Application
The model was trained for binary classification to distinguish between promoter and non-promoter sequences. The length and composition of the promoter sequences were standardized to ensure compatibility with alternative methods and to facilitate direct comparison of model performance.
## Simple Usage Example
The following example demonstrates how to use the ProkBERT-mini-c-promoter model for processing a DNA sequence:
```python
from prokbert.prokbert_tokenizer import ProkBERTTokenizer
from prokbert.models import BertForBinaryClassificationWithPooling
finetuned_model = "neuralbioinfo/prokbert-mini-promoter"
kmer = 1
shift= 1
tok_params = {'kmer' : kmer,
'shift' : shift}
tokenizer = ProkBERTTokenizer(tokenization_params=tok_params)
model = BertForBinaryClassificationWithPooling.from_pretrained(finetuned_model)
sequence = 'TAGCGCATAATGATTTCCTTATAAGCGATCGCTCTGAAAGCGTTCTACGATAATAATGATATCCTTTCAATAATAGCGTAT'
inputs = tokenizer(sequence, return_tensors="pt")
# Ensure that inputs have a batch dimension
inputs = {key: value.unsqueeze(0) for key, value in inputs.items()}
# Generate outputs from the model
outputs = model(**inputs)
print(outputs)
```
### Model Details
**Developed by:** Neural Bioinformatics Research Group
**Architecture:**
Traditionally, models like ...SequenceClassification classify sequences based on the hidden representation of the [CLS] or starting token. However, in our approach, we utilize the base model enhanced with a pooling layer that integrates information across all nucleotides in the sequence.
The input is expected to be 80bp long, same as in the dataset.
**Tokenizer:** The model uses a 1-mer tokenizer with a shift of 1 (k1s1).
**Parameters:**
| Parameter | Description |
|----------------------|--------------------------------------|
| Model Size | 24.9 million parameters |
| Max. Context Size | 1022 bp |
| Training Data | 206.65 billion nucleotides |
| Layers | 6 |
| Attention Heads | 6 |
### Intended Use
**Intended Use Cases:** As with all models in the bioinformatics domain, ProkBERT-mini-c-promoter should be used responsibly. Testing and evaluation have been conducted within specific genomic contexts, and the model's outputs in other scenarios are not guaranteed. Users should exercise caution and perform additional testing as necessary for their specific use cases.
### Installation of ProkBERT (if needed)
For setting up ProkBERT in your environment, you can install it using the following command (if not already installed):
```python
try:
import prokbert
print("ProkBERT is already installed.")
except ImportError:
!pip install prokbert
print("Installed ProkBERT.")
```
### Training Data and Process
**Overview:** The model was pretrained on a comprehensive dataset of genomic sequences to ensure broad coverage and robust learning.
*Masking performance of the ProkBERT family.*
