FLaG (Frequency‑Domain Latent‑attention Gated Pooling) is a plug‑in token‑aggregation module that transforms encoder outputs into the Fourier domain, summarizes spectral tokens with learnable latent queries, applies a sample‑conditioned channel gate, and reconstructs modulated token representations for downstream pooling. The method is evaluated on antimicrobial peptide activity prediction, CIFAR‑10/100 image classification, and several RoBERTa language tasks, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on most metrics. Analyses show that FLaG emphasizes low‑frequency components while selectively amplifying high‑frequency signals in later layers, providing a transferable frequency‑domain bias across protein, visual, and textual representations.

Target-specific peptide design requires sequence and structure co-design under full atom geometric constraints. Latent generative frameworks offer an effective route for this problem by compressing fine grained atomic structures into block level latent representations and performing conditional generation in a compact latent space.

The study demonstrates that a simple, sequence-only approach using 330 interpretable descriptors and the TabPFN tabular foundation model can outperform complex multimodal deep learning methods for multi-label antimicrobial peptide activity prediction. On the ESCAPE benchmark (82,359 peptides, five labels), a label‑powerset TabPFN model achieved a mean average precision of 77.8%, surpassing the previous best of 72.1%. The approach also shows that predicted structure is unnecessary, that a small set of global physicochemical scalars can recover most performance, and that modeling label dependence benefits rare activities and informs assay prioritization.
