Scoring Question

[MarcAmil30]

Hello. Thank you for creating the EVO tool. I just wanted to ask a general question.

When generating sequences a more positive value/score e.g. -0.5 instead of -1.2, the more probable the sequence generated is and also more probable next nucleotide or token that the model is predicting?

Thanks

The scoring functionality defaults to the the mean logprobs across all tokens in a sequence:
