SARS-CoV-2 Spike mutations

Hello Dr. Hie,

Thanks for share your amazing work!

But I don't get why not consider delete and insert mutations of SARS-CoV-2 Spike?

Hi @martyLY, thanks for reaching out, as noted in the paper, our approach does not naturally extend to insertions and deletions. Though there are language models that can model indels in a more principled way.
