# gLM2_150M

gLM2 is a mixed-modality genomic language model, trained on the [`OMG Dataset`](https://huggingface.co./datasets/tattabio/OMG).
The model encodes a genomic scaffold with both both amino-acid and DNA tokens. 

gLM2 is trained at two scales: 150M and 650M parameters (available at [`tattabio/gLM2_650M`](https://huggingface.co./tattabio/gLM2_650M)).

See [https://github.com/TattaBio/gLM2](https://github.com/TattaBio/gLM2) for inference scripts.

### Model Description

gLM2 is a transformer encoder trained with the masked language modeling objective.  
It encodes a genomic contig as a sequence of protein coding sequences (CDS) and DNA inter-genic sequences (IGS).  
CDS elements are tokenized using per-amino acid tokens, and IGS elements are tokenized using per-nucleotide tokens.


- To encode the genomic strand, we prepended each genomic element with a special token, either `<+>` or `<->` to indicate the positive and negative strands.
- To avoid collision between amino acid and nucleotide tokens, the tokenizer expects all amino acids to be uppercase, and all nucleotides to be lowercase.

UPDATE(09/2024): We updated the model with longer context length (4096 tokens vs. 2048 tokens) and per-nucleotide IGS tokenization instead of BPE.

## Getting Started


```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('tattabio/gLM2_150M', torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True).cuda()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('tattabio/gLM2_150M', trust_remote_code=True)

# A contig with two proteins and an inter-genic sequence.
# NOTE: Nucleotides should always be lowercase, and prepended with `<+>`.
sequence = "<+>MALTKVEKRNRIKRRVRGKISGTQASPRLSVYKSNK<+>aatttaaggaa<->MLGIDNIERVKPGGLELVDRLVAVNRVTKVTKGGRAFGFSAIVVVGNED"

# Tokenize the sequence.
encodings = tokenizer([sequence], return_tensors='pt')

# Extract embeddings.
with torch.no_grad():
    embeddings = model(encodings.input_ids.cuda(), output_hidden_states=True).last_hidden_state

```

### Training Data

gLM2 is trained on the [`OMG`](https://huggingface.co./datasets/tattabio/OMG) dataset.
To improve the dataset balance and remove near-duplicate examples, the data is tokenized and pruned by applying Semantic Deduplication [SemDedup](https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.09540).  
We use an embedding distance threshold of 2e-3, resulting in 49% of the dataset being pruned.
