  "summary": "Identifying which peptides bind major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is central to vaccine design, neoantigen prioritization, and precision immunotherapy. Existing deep learning predictors largely encode amino acids as discrete symbols, thereby missing the residue-level chemistry driving molecular recognition. Performance also tends to degrade under class imbalance, for rare alleles,…",
