| 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. | |
