The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The organizing machinery is a four-way architectural taxonomy of protein language models, used as the spine of the review. Around that spine the authors place three further lenses: position encoding (absolute, relative, and rotary variants), scaling laws linking model size, data, and compute to performance, and pretraining dataset choice. The taxonomy groups the field's models so that representative examples can be compared on the same axes, and the benchmark and tool sections give the reader the instruments the field actually uses to judge them.
What would settle it
An independent audit of the tables and the companion resource collection against the cited primary papers would settle it: if a substantial fraction of entries give wrong parameter counts, wrong pretraining datasets, or dead or missing code links, or if well-known models published before the cutoff are absent, the claim of a systematic and accurate review fails.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The central claim, stated in the introduction, is that a systematic review of protein language models from a macro perspective is now possible and needed, and that this paper delivers it. The authors organize the field into non-transformer and transformer-based architectures, split the latter into encoder-only, decoder-only, and encoder-decoder families, and treat position encoding, scaling laws, and pretraining datasets as the axes along which model behavior and comparison should be understood. They further claim that evaluation is inseparable from downstream tasks, so they tie benchmarks to structure, function, mutation, and design applications. The closing argument identifies MSA-free structure prediction and multimodal sequence-structure-function models as the current mainstream directions. If the paper is right, the field now has a usable taxonomy and a curated resource repository as entry points.
Load-bearing premise
The whole overview stands on the authors having chosen the right literature and described each model, dataset, and tool correctly; if their selection is skewed or their table entries misstate the cited papers, the review loses its usefulness.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- A newcomer can use the paper's taxonomy and resource collection to pick models, datasets, and benchmarks for a task without reconstructing the field's history from scattered papers.
- The juxtaposition of scaling-law evidence and claims that protein language models are often undertrained implies that larger-scale training should continue to improve performance, and that the field's largest models are not yet at the point of diminishing returns.
- The discussion of position encodings identifies rotary and relative encodings as the choices that handle long sequences best, which gives model builders a concrete design default.
- The benchmark survey gives standard evaluation suites such as TAPE, PEER, ProteinGym, CASP, CAMEO, FLIP, and CAFA a single reference point, making cross-paper comparisons easier to situate.
- The identified trends toward MSA-free and multimodal models point to where near-term progress is most likely to be concentrated.
Reading between the lines
- The review collects the ingredients for a controlled comparison but does not run one: a testable extension would be to train or fine-tune models from the repository on matched data and compute to isolate the effect of architecture choice from dataset choice.
- If the paper's claim that protein language models are more prone to underfitting than NLP models is correct, then the scaling-law section implies that modest increases in training tokens may yield larger gains than increases in parameters; the paper does not itself quantify this.
- The review's focus on language models means structure-aware models are included mainly when they fuse a language model with structural tokens; a companion review of purely geometric models would be needed to see the full protein AI landscape.
- The data-quality-versus-data-quantity debate noted in the discussion could be sharpened into a benchmark: compare models pretrained on redundancy-clustered versus metagenome-diverse data at fixed compute.

Referee Report
Summary. This manuscript claims to provide a systematic review of protein language models (PLMs) from a macro perspective. It covers model architectures (non-transformer-based and transformer-based, subdivided into encoder-only, decoder-only, and encoder-decoder), positional encoding strategies, scaling laws, pre-training and benchmark datasets, downstream applications (structure prediction, function prediction, protein design, and mutation prediction), and several widely used computational tools. The paper also presents four model tables (Tables I-IV), two dataset/benchmark tables (Tables V-VI), and a GitHub repository collecting resources related to PLMs, datasets, and tools.
Significance. The planned organization of the review—grouping models by architecture, position encoding, scaling behavior, and datasets—is reasonable, and the compiled tables and companion GitHub repository are practical resources for researchers entering the field. If the catalog entries were accurate, the paper would be a useful broad survey. However, the value of a review of this type rests entirely on the correctness of its factual and citation details, and the manuscript currently contains several errors that affect the reliability of its central deliverable. The absence of a documented selection methodology also weakens the 'systematic' claim. These issues are fixable, but they require substantive revision rather than copy-editing.
major comments (5)
- [Section V.A.1, Pfam paragraph] The sentence 'Models like ProteinLM[47], TAPE[103], and ESM-1b[5] have been trained on Pfam' is factually incorrect for ESM-1b, whose pretraining corpus is UniRef50 according to the cited paper [5]. Please correct this entry in the catalog.
- [Section II.B.2, ProtTrans description] The text states that ProtTrans 'trains various autoencoder models (e.g., BERT, ALBERT, ELECTRA)', but BERT, ALBERT, and ELECTRA are not autoencoders; they are transformer encoders trained with masked language modeling or replaced-token detection. Please revise the architecture terminology.
- [Section V.B.2 and References [122]/[124]] References [122] and [124] are the same work (Zhang et al., arXiv:2203.06125), yet [122] is cited in the EC paragraph and [124] in the GO paragraph. The cited work is a structure pretraining paper, not the EC or GO benchmark source; please replace these citations with the correct benchmark references and eliminate the duplicate.
- [Section I and Abstract] The paper labels itself a 'systematic' and 'comprehensive' review, but no review methodology is documented anywhere in the manuscript. Please add a methods subsection stating the search strategy, databases consulted, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and the date the literature search was performed, so that the 'systematic' claim is verifiable.
- [Section VI.C, protein design paragraph] The sentence about RoseTTAFold cites [173–175], but [173] is the ProteinMPNN paper (Dauparas et al., 2022) and is not a RoseTTAFold reference; please adjust the citation span or add a dedicated RoseTTAFold citation.
minor comments (5)
- [Reference list] [92] is a duplicate of [35] (both are 'Alec Radford. Improving language understanding by generative pre-training. 2018'); please remove the duplicate and renumber.
- [Section VI.D] The phrase 'Joshua's findings' is informal and unclear; please replace with 'the findings of Meier et al.' or similar.
- [Section V.B.2, GO paragraph] The sentence 'GO annotations cover multiple species and play a positive role in cross-species gene function and evolutionary research' would read better as 'GO annotations cover multiple species and support cross-species gene function and evolutionary research'.
- [Section III.A] In the sentence 'Learned positional encoding often leads to better downstream performance for protein language models, as adopted by numerous PLMs like ESM-1b[5], and others[46, 64, 69]', the comma after '[5]' is misplaced; consider removing it.
- [Table II] The ESM-C row lists Time '2024.12' and a checkmark under Code; please verify the source and date, and clarify whether the code is publicly available.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the paper is a literature review with no derivations, predictions, or fitted parameters whose outputs reduce to its inputs.
full rationale
This manuscript is a survey of protein language models. It makes no quantitative predictions, fits no parameters, and derives no mathematical result. Its central claim is that it 'systematically review(s) the technological advances in PLMs,' and the substance of that claim is a catalog of models, datasets, benchmarks, applications, and tools. None of these catalog entries is derived from the paper's own definitions or from a self-citation chain; each is an external, checkable fact about the cited literature. The paper does cite some of the authors' own prior work (e.g., ProtFlash), but only as one item among many in a review list, and nothing in the review's structure or conclusions depends on accepting that self-citation as an unverified premise. The skeptical concern that the 'systematic' label is not backed by a documented search methodology, and that some citations mischaracterize their sources (e.g., ESM-1b described as Pfam-trained when the primary source uses UniRef50), is a correctness and reproducibility criticism, not circular reasoning: it does not show that any claimed result is equivalent to its inputs by construction. Accordingly, the appropriate circularity score is 0.

At the intersection of the rapidly growing biological data landscape and advancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP), protein language models (PLMs) have emerged as a transformative force in modern research. These models have achieved remarkable progress, highlighting the need for timely and comprehensive overviews. However, much of the existing literature focuses narrowly on specific domains, often missing a broader analysis of PLMs. This study provides a systematic review of PLMs from a macro perspective, covering key historical milestones and current mainstream trends. We focus on the models themselves and their evaluation metrics, exploring aspects such as model architectures, positional encoding, scaling laws, and datasets. In the evaluation section, we discuss benchmarks and downstream applications. To further support ongoing research, we introduce relevant mainstream tools. Lastly, we critically examine the key challenges and limitations in this rapidly evolving field.
