Evidencepartial
Generative modeling has become a central paradigm in protein research, extending machine learning beyond structure prediction toward sequence design, backbone generation, inverse folding, and biomolecular interaction modeling.
Implicationpartial
This claim is explicitly stated in the abstract and is a central theme of the paper.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
However, the literature remains fragmented across representations, model classes, and task formulations, making it difficult to compare methods or identify appropriate evaluation standards.
Implicationpartial
This claim is explicitly stated in the abstract and is the primary motivation for the survey.

Evidencepartial
generative architectures including SE(3)-equivariant diffusion, flow matching, and hybrid predictor-generator systems
Implicationpartial
The abstract lists these as key generative architectures, and the paper's structure indicates they will be discussed.

Evidencepartial
PLMs treat amino-acid sequences as a discrete language over an alphabetAand learn contextual token embeddings via self-supervised objectives such as masked language modeling and autoregressive next-token prediction [22], [39].
Implicationpartial
This is a direct explanation of sequence representations in the context of generative AI for proteins, as detailed in Section II.A.

Evidencepartial
ESM-2, with up to 15 billion parameters trained on UniRef-derived corpora [46], produces per-residue embeddings that encode evolutionary conservation, co-evolutionary couplings, and secondary structure information, enabling zero-shot mutational effect prediction that correlates well with deep mutational scanning experiments [47].
Implicationpartial
This is a specific example of a PLM and its capabilities, directly stated in the text.

A functionfisequivarianttoSE(3)if applying a rigid trans-formationg= (R,t)to the input produces a correspondingly transformed output:f(g·x) =g·f(x). ... Since the energy of a molecular system is invariant under rigid-body motions, equivariance is a natur
Implicationpartial
The paper defines SE(3)-equivariance and explains its relevance to molecular systems, which is a core technical concept.

Evidencepartial
SE(3)n state is central to AlphaFold2’s structure module, where Invariant Point Attention (IPA) updates per-residue activ-ations using geometric queries, keys, values defined in local frames, yielding attention that is invariant to global rotations and translations. Subsequently, the module predicts and applies frame updates in the local coordinates of each residue, making the attention blockSE(3)-equivariant [18].
Implicationpartial
This is a specific technical detail about a prominent protein structure prediction model, AlphaFold2, and its use of SE(3)-equivariance.
