AVI Architecture: 18 Features Per Variant Fed Into a Linear Hypernetwork Ensemble
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-09-18
Thread segment from Anshul Kundaje on AVI's design: 10 AlphaGenome features are combined with AlphaMissense scores (protein-coding variants), 2 conservation scores, 3 protein loss-of-function annotations, and indel indicators — 18 features per variant. A second model, an ensemble of linear hypernetworks, then maps these diverse variant effect features into a single raw impact score.
