Train a calibrator on InstaNovo v1.3.0 predictions: the general model is fitted on v1.2.0's #262

Description

Why

InstaDeepAI/winnow-general-model was fitted on predictions from the released InstaNovo checkpoint (#57–#61), and its configuration fits that checkpoint: its unsupported_residues ([UNIMOD:5], [UNIMOD:385], (+25.98)) are the residues of instanovo-v1.2.0 that Prosit can't score (instadeepai/INFlow#158).

Six of its ten features come from the checkpoint's own scores: margin, median_margin, entropy, z-score, min_token_probability and std_token_probability. A different checkpoint produces differently distributed scores, so the calibrated probabilities, and the FDR derived from them, no longer mean what they mean for v1.2.0.

InstaNovo v1.3.0 is that different checkpoint: the 133-residue release candidate, AIchor experiment 33768d55-ac95-40ab-9545-b3889ef8facf, sha256 5443d0cc97d5e57d1b220570d9da78c568f3812b44ff5b85c881f4e3befb2937, residue set in InstaNovo-internal#743. In INFlow's comparison of the two checkpoints on three samples, v1.3.0 passes 3.0–9.2 percentage points fewer PSMs at 5% FDR, even on spectra both can be scored on. With a calibrator fitted on v1.2.0, that can't be attributed to the model rather than to miscalibration.

Asked for

A calibrator fitted on v1.3.0 predictions, published beside the general model and named after the checkpoint it pairs with.

Choices to make when fitting:

Done when

  • Calibration on held-out labelled data is reported: reliability curve and ECE, against the general model on v1.2.0.
  • The FDR is checked against a database search or entrapment (instadeepai/INFlow#41).
  • The calibrator is on Hugging Face, with the checkpoint it pairs with in its model card.

Used by instadeepai/INFlow#185.

    The other Koina models (AlphaPeptDeep, MS2PIP/DeepLC) need calibrators of their own, for both checkpoints: #263. The AlphaPeptDeep option in this issue is covered there; this issue stays with the Prosit-feature calibrator for v1.3.0.
