Conformal Selective Ranking of Protein–Ligand Poses

Simulations suggest greater robustness and lower computational cost than Pyrite-style LLM agents, while exposing rather than concealing the trade-off between coverage and error.

Abstract

We replace forced pairwise decisions with an antisymmetric, conformally calibrated pose ranker that may abstain. Simulations suggest greater robustness and lower computational cost than Pyrite-style LLM agents, while exposing rather than concealing the trade-off between coverage and error. Working paper of the Technische Universität Eisenfeld — not peer reviewed. Zusammenfassung (Deutsch): Wir ersetzen erzwungene Paarentscheidungen durch einen antisymmetrischen, konformal kalibrierten Pose-Ranker mit Enthaltungsoption. Simulationen deuten auf höhere Robustheit und geringere Rechenkosten als LLM-basierte Pyrite-Agenten hin, bei explizit ausgewiesenem Abdeckungs-Risiko-Kompromiss.
