The study benchmarks Vision Transformers (ViTs) against convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for fine‑grained orchid genus identification in New Guinea’s species‑rich, data‑poor flora. Using a two‑stage system that first predicts genus and then retrieves similar species images, the authors fine‑tuned four pretrained backbones on 16,701 photographs from 120 genera and 1,350 species. The self‑supervised ViT DINOv2 achieved the highest genus accuracy (macro top‑1 66.9 %) and outperformed both CNNs and a domain‑matched pretrained ViT, demonstrating strong species retrieval and open‑set detection capabilities.

MT-ProtBERT is a multi‑task extension of ProtBERT designed for classifying intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in low‑data settings. It combines Dynamic Window Masking, a Multi‑Scale 1D Convolutional classifier, and auxiliary biochemistry‑informed objectives to jointly optimize masked language modeling and domain‑specific tasks. In experiments on phosphorylation site prediction and protein compaction prediction, MT‑ProtBERT outperforms the RNN‑based IDP model PARROT across all limited‑data tasks.
