Frontiers | InferBERT: A Transformer-Based Causal Inference Framework for Enhancing Pharmacovigilance | Artificial Intelligence

July 31, 2021

Nice talk by W Tong at #ISMBECCB21 (CAMDA session) discussing the FDA perspective on how to do AI for regulatory science. He presents the TRIAL framework: transparency, reliability, interpretability, applicability & liability. #ISMBECCB2021

In relation to interpretability, he discusses InferBert
(https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frai.2021.659622/full) which builds a Bayesian causality framework (using the Do-calculus) for interpreting the BERT transformer based model. #ISMBECCB21 #ISMBECCB2021

The design of stabilizing mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein allows for high-yield production of a critical vaccine antigen.

In particular,
stabilization is very important for the Moderna vaccine design.
