# PeptideForge Dataset

## Dataset Description

This dataset repo packages the processed training, validation, and test splits used by the
`PeptideForge` project for conditioned peptide generation and AMP scoring.

It exposes three Hub configs:

| config | purpose | splits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| generator_text | Conditioned text corpus exported as parsed CSV rows | train / validation / test |
| generator_structured | Structured generator table with features and conditioned prompts | train / validation / test |
| scorer | Structured AMP/non-AMP scorer dataset | train / validation / test |

## Dataset Summary

- Total rows across all published configs: `221424`
- Generator text corpus: prompt-style conditioned peptide records derived from the line-based
  `train_core.csv` / `val_core.csv` / `test_core.csv` files
- Generator structured tables: per-sequence features plus `conditioned_text`
- Scorer tables: labeled AMP vs non-AMP examples with the features used by the AMP scorer

## Splits

| config | train | validation | test |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| generator_text | 23791 | 2974 | 2974 |
| generator_structured | 23791 | 2974 | 2974 |
| scorer | 129556 | 16195 | 16195 |

## Feature Schemas

### `generator_text`

Columns: `conditioned_text`, `sequence`, `length_tag`, `charge_tag`, `hydro_tag`

Each example stores the raw conditioned line plus the parsed sequence and the three
conditioning tags.

### `generator_structured`

Columns: `id`, `sequence`, `label`, `length`, `unique_chars`, `is_standard`, `charge`, `hydrophobicity`, `frac_basic`, `frac_acidic`, `cysteine_count`, `length_bin`, `charge_bin`, `hydro_bin`, `condition_prefix`, `conditioned_text`

These rows are the structured generator tables used for analysis and for workflows that want
explicit feature columns in addition to the prompt-style conditioning text.

### `scorer`

Columns: `id`, `sequence`, `label`, `length`, `unique_chars`, `is_standard`, `charge`, `hydrophobicity`, `frac_basic`, `frac_acidic`, `cysteine_count`, `length_bin`, `charge_bin`, `hydro_bin`, `condition_prefix`, `conditioned_text`

These rows contain AMP/non-AMP labels and the feature set used by `scorer/scorer.py`.

## Source Data Layout

The original code repository stores the processed files in:

- `data/generator/`
- `data/scorer/`
- `data/other/`

The original repo `data/` tree is mirrored under `source_data/` in this dataset repo so the exact CSV/text files used by the codebase stay inspectable.

## Loading The Data

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

generator_text = load_dataset("HakimT/peptideforge-dataset", "generator_text")
generator_structured = load_dataset("HakimT/peptideforge-dataset", "generator_structured")
scorer = load_dataset("HakimT/peptideforge-dataset", "scorer")
```

Load a single split directly:

```python
train_generator_text = load_dataset("HakimT/peptideforge-dataset", "generator_text", split="train")
```

## Data Provenance

The processed data in this project is derived from:

Peng, Shuang; Rajjou, Loïc, 2024, "Unifying Antimicrobial Peptide Datasets for Robust Deep
Learning-Based Classification", Recherche Data Gouv, V1,
https://doi.org/10.57745/NZ0IRX

This Hugging Face dataset repo contains processed and reformatted derivatives used by the
PeptideForge training, evaluation, and scoring pipelines.

## Preprocessing Notes

- Generator text examples encode peptide conditioning tags inline and are exported here as a
  parsed CSV for easier loading on the Hub.
- Structured generator tables retain the same conditioning information in explicit feature
  columns, including `condition_prefix` and `conditioned_text`.
- The scorer split preserves AMP labels and physicochemical features for classifier training
  and offline evaluation.

## Intended Uses

- Reproducing the training and evaluation flows in the PeptideForge codebase
- Training conditioned peptide generators from prompt-style or tabular representations
- Training or benchmarking AMP scoring/classification pipelines

## Limitations

- This is a processed research dataset, not a clinical decision-making resource.
- The conditioning tags are coarse bins, not precise biophysical targets.
- Generated peptides still require downstream validation.

## Licensing

Unless otherwise noted, the processed data files distributed from the PeptideForge project are
intended to be shared under `CC BY 4.0`, consistent with the repository's top-level license
notice.

repository that produced these processed splits.
