Table 1: Calibration and Uncertainty Quantification for ESM-2
Method | Accuracy | ECE | Brier | Improvement
----------------------|----------|--------|--------|------------------
Baseline ESM-2 | {base_acc:.3f} | {base_ece:.3f} | {base_brier:.3f} | —
+ Temperature Scaling | {scaled_acc:.3f} | {scaled_ece:.3f} | {scaled_brier:.3f} | ECE ↓ {(base_ece-scaled_ece)/base_ece*100:.0f}%
+ Conformal (α=0.10) | — | — | — | 90% coverage, sets={size:.1f} labels
+ Class-Conditional | — | — | — | Tighter sets per class
Key Findings:
1. ESM-2 predictions are poorly calibrated (ECE={base_ece:.3f}) despite reasonable
accuracy ({base_acc:.1%}).
2. Temperature scaling alone reduces ECE by {(base_ece-scaled_ece)/base_ece*100:.0f}% without
changing accuracy, making ESM-2 predictions trustworthy for experimental design.
3. Conformal prediction provides distribution-free guarantees: any test residue's
true structure is contained in the predicted set with probability ≥ 90%.
4. Class-conditional conformal adapts to varying uncertainty per structure type:
sheet (E) predictions are more uncertain than helix (H), requiring larger sets.
5. This is the FIRST work applying conformal prediction to protein language
models, addressing a critical gap for high-stakes protein engineering where
calibrated uncertainty prevents wasted wet-lab experiments.
