Modality OOD Dataset

Dataset Description

The Modality OOD dataset tests model generalization across different data modalities in peptide-MHC (pMHC) binding prediction. It contains two complementary datasets representing distinct experimental measurement types:

  • BA (Binding Affinity): In vitro binding affinity measurements with continuous values
  • EL (Eluted Ligand): Mass spectrometry-based eluted ligand data with binary labels

Key Features

  • Modality Shift Testing: Evaluates if models trained on one modality (e.g., BA) can generalize to another (e.g., EL)
  • Real-World Relevance: Reflects the practical challenge of applying models across different experimental platforms
  • Large Scale: Combined 3.85M samples across 130+ HLA alleles
  • Single Allele Format: Each sample has one peptide-HLA pair (no multi-allele)

Biological Significance

Why Two Modalities Matter:

  1. Binding Affinity (BA):

    • Measures peptide-MHC binding strength in controlled conditions
    • Continuous scale (0 = no binding, 1 = strong binding)
    • Reflects thermodynamic stability
    • Common in immunoinformatics training data
  2. Eluted Ligand (EL):

    • Peptides naturally presented on cell surface MHC molecules
    • Binary label (1 = naturally presented, 0 = not presented)
    • Reflects cellular processing, TAP transport, and MHC loading
    • More biologically relevant but harder to obtain

The Modality Gap: Models trained on BA data often fail on EL data (and vice versa) because:

  • BA measures binding only, EL captures the full antigen processing pathway
  • Different experimental biases and noise profiles
  • Label semantics differ (affinity vs. presentation)

This dataset enables testing cross-modality generalization.

Dataset Structure

Files

  • ba_s.csv: Binding Affinity dataset (single allele)

Data Format

Both files share the same schema:

Column Type Description Required

HLA string HLA allele (e.g., HLA-A02:01, HLA-B07:02) Yes
label float/int BA: continuous 0-1, EL: binary 0/1 Yes
HLA_sequence string HLA pseudo-sequence Yes

Usage

Load with Pandas

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import pandas as pd

# Download BA dataset
ba_file = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="YYJMAY/modality-ood",
    filename="ba_s.csv",
    repo_type="dataset"
)
ba_df = pd.read_csv(ba_file)

# Download EL dataset
el_file = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="YYJMAY/modality-ood",
    filename="el_s.csv",
    repo_type="dataset"
)
el_df = pd.read_csv(el_file)

Use with SPRINT Framework

from sprint.core.dataset_manager import DatasetManager

manager = DatasetManager()
config = {
    'hf_repo': 'YYJMAY/modality-ood',
    'files': ['ba_s.csv', 'el_s.csv'],
    'ba': 'ba_s.csv',
    'el': 'el_s.csv'
}

files = manager.get_dataset('modality_ood', config)
ba_file = files['ba']
el_file = files['el']

Example: Cross-Modality Evaluation

import pandas as pd
from your_model import YourModel

# Load data
ba_df = pd.read_csv(ba_file)
el_df = pd.read_csv(el_file)

# Scenario 1: Train on BA, test on EL
model = YourModel()
model.train(ba_df)
el_predictions = model.predict(el_df)

# Scenario 2: Train on EL, test on BA
model = YourModel()
model.train(el_df)
ba_predictions = model.predict(ba_df)

# Evaluate cross-modality generalization

Experimental Design

Recommended Evaluation Scenarios

  1. BA → EL Generalization

    • Train on BA (continuous labels)
    • Test on EL (binary labels)
    • Measures if affinity-based models predict presentation
  2. EL → BA Generalization

    • Train on EL (binary labels)
    • Test on BA (continuous labels)
    • Measures if presentation-based models predict affinity
  3. Mixed Training

    • Train on both BA and EL
    • Test separately on each
    • Measures multi-task learning benefits
  4. Modality-Specific Training

    • Train and test on same modality
    • Baseline for comparison

Metrics Considerations

  • For BA: Use regression metrics (MSE, MAE, Pearson correlation)
  • For EL: Use classification metrics (AUC, F1, precision, recall)
  • Cross-modal: May need to binarize BA predictions or convert EL to scores

Construction Method

Both datasets were constructed to ensure:

  1. Single Allele Format: Each sample has exactly one HLA allele
  2. Quality Control:
    • No missing values in required columns
    • No duplicate peptide-HLA-label combinations
    • Peptide lengths filtered to 8-15 amino acids
  3. Standardized HLA Format: HLA-A02:01 format (with hyphen prefix)
  4. Representative Coverage: 130+ HLA alleles across major supertypes
  5. Balanced Lengths: Both datasets include diverse peptide lengths

Related Datasets

  • Allelic OOD: Tests generalization to rare HLA alleles
  • Temporal OOD: Tests generalization to new data over time

Notes

  • No CDR3 sequences: These datasets are for PM (Peptide-MHC) tasks only, not PMT (Peptide-MHC-TCR)
  • Label semantics differ: BA is continuous affinity, EL is binary presentation
  • Experimental platforms differ: BA from in vitro assays, EL from mass spectrometry
  • Biological processes differ: BA measures binding only, EL captures full pathway
