A benchmark suite of protein sequence tasks to evaluate machine learning models for protein design.
FLIP is a benchmark suite for evaluating how well machine learning models using protein sequence inputs can represent different dimensions relevant for protein design. It provides curated datasets and train/test splits to assess model accuracy on tasks critical to protein engineering. The project standardizes evaluation protocols to enable fair comparisons across different modeling approaches.
Researchers and developers in computational biology and bioinformatics who are building or evaluating machine learning models for protein sequence analysis and design.
FLIP offers rigorously curated and standardized benchmarks specifically for protein design tasks, with a clear split semaphore system to prevent overestimation of performance. It provides baseline implementations and public data access, making it a trusted resource for model evaluation in the field.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides processed datasets in FASTA format following biotrainer standardization, ensuring consistency across model comparisons.
Offers multiple train/test splits based on biological or statistical intuition, enabling robust assessment of model generalization.
Implements a color-coded semaphore system to indicate which splits are active, cautionary, or obsolete, preventing misuse in performance reporting.
Makes substantial raw data available via an external repository, with processed splits included, supporting thorough model evaluation.
The core data is hosted externally, which can complicate access, introduce dependency on third-party servers, and hinder reproducibility if the link becomes unavailable.
Linked to a 2021 NeurIPS paper, so it may not reflect the latest protein sequences or design challenges, limiting its relevance for cutting-edge research.
The baseline code is provided but with limited documentation, making it challenging for users to integrate into custom ML workflows without additional effort.
