## Project Description
This repository contains the trained model for our paper: **Fine-tuning a Sentence Transformer for DNA & Protein tasks** that is currently under review at BMC Bioinformatics. This model, called **simcse-dna**; is based on the original implementation of **SimCSE [1]**. The original model was adapted for DNA downstream tasks by training it on a small sample size k-mer tokens generated from the human reference genome, and can be used to generate sentence embeddings for DNA tasks.
### Prerequisites
-----------
Please see the original [SimCSE](https://github.com/princeton-nlp/SimCSE) for installation details. The model will als be hosted on Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11046580).
### Usage
Run the following code to get the sentence embeddings:
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
# Import trained model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dsfsi/simcse-dna")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("dsfsi/simcse-dna")
#sentences is your list of n DNA tokens of size 6
inputs = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
# Get the embeddings
with torch.no_grad():
embeddings = model(**inputs, output_hidden_states=True, return_dict=True).pooler_output
```
The retrieved embeddings can be utilized as input for a machine learning classifier to perform classification.
