The paper introduces Explainability from Training (EFT), a model‑agnostic method that tracks how deep learning models learn and organize evidence during training. EFT is applied to four leading T cell receptor‑epitope prediction models, revealing distinct learning trajectories for CNNs and transformers, conflicts between TCR alpha and beta chain evidence, and differences in feature preferences when using real versus predicted structural data. The authors also present a new benchmark, TCR‑XAI2, comprising 388 experimentally resolved TCR‑epitope structures and several predicted models to evaluate these insights.
arXiv:2606. 04994v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate computational prediction of T cell receptor (TCR) antigen specificity would transform the study of T cell biology and enable scalable immune engineering, yet existing models lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity for broad applications.
Accurate computational prediction of T cell receptor (TCR) antigen specificity would transform the study of T cell biology and enable scalable immune engineering, yet existing models lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity for broad applications. A major limitation is the absence of rigorously defined, unseen benchmark datasets that allow unbiased evaluation of model performance and generalizability.
