• Modeling aspects of the language of life through transfer-learning protein sequences (2019, background): “(1) Proteins range from about 30 to 33,000 residues, a much larger range than for the average English sentence extending over 15 – 30 words [44], and even more extreme than notable literary exceptions such as James Joyce ’ s Ulysses (1922) with almost 4000 words in a sentence.”
• ProtTrans: Towards Cracking the Language of Life’s Code Through Self-Supervised Deep Learning and High Performance Computing (2020, background): “With the average length of an English sentence around 15-30 words [50], an upper sentence length limit is no problem for sentence-level NLP tasks but many proteins are more than 10-times longer resulting in an average length of about 350 residues (residues is the term used to describe amino acids jo”
