Researchers have developed a method to extract protein contact information from language models more efficiently. This new approach, which involves analyzing a small subset of attention heads, requires only a single forward pass compared to the multiple passes needed by previous methods. The technique demonstrates comparable or superior performance to existing methods on bidirectional models, suggesting that protein contact signals are already concentrated within specific attention heads.
