protlabel
Embedding Annotation Transfer (EAT) engine — nearest-neighbour label transfer in protein-language-model (pLM) embedding space, with the goPredSim reliability index.
protlabel is a small, dependency-light library (numpy only). It is
ProtSpace-agnostic by design — it imports nothing from protspace — so it is
independently testable and reusable from notebooks, protspace_uniprot, or any
other project. The protspace transfer CLI is a thin consumer of this engine.
Install
pip install protlabel
Use
import numpy as np
from protlabel import eat, Lookup
preds = eat(
query_emb=np.random.rand(3, 1024).astype("float32"),
query_ids=["Q1", "Q2", "Q3"],
ref_emb=np.random.rand(100, 1024).astype("float32"),
ref_ids=[f"R{i}" for i in range(100)],
ref_labels=["toxin", "enzyme"] * 50,
k=1,
metric="cosine", # or "euclidean" (the goPredSim default)
)
for p in preds:
print(p.query_id, p.label, round(p.reliability, 3))
Lookup builds and serialises a reusable reference set (.npz sidecar) so the
reference matrix can be rebuilt on demand rather than shipped.
Method
Nearest-neighbour transfer in the original pLM embedding space (not a 2-D/3-D projection), with the goPredSim reliability index — see Littmann et al., Sci Rep 2021 (Eq. 5) and Heinzinger et al., NAR Genom Bioinform 2022.
Distances are computed with an exact, chunked brute-force search (numpy BLAS GEMM
argpartition); queries are processed in batches. No approximate-nearest-neighbour index is needed at Swiss-Prot scale.
