# Advanced Sampling Techniques Analysis

## Interpretability
### Confidence-Guided Sampling
- Confidence scores provide interpretable measures of prediction reliability
- Per-residue confidence estimation enables targeted refinement
- Visualization tools for confidence distribution analysis

### Attention-Based Sampling
- Attention weights reveal structural relationships
- Multi-head attention patterns show different aspects of protein structure
- Structure bias integration provides explicit control points

### Graph-Based Sampling
- Message passing operations maintain interpretable local structure
- Distance-based edge features correspond to physical constraints
- Node updates preserve amino acid relationships

## Case Studies

### Case 1: Beta-sheet Generation
- Confidence-guided sampling ensures stable sheet formation
- Attention mechanisms capture long-range interactions
- Graph-based updates maintain proper hydrogen bonding

### Case 2: Alpha-helix Refinement
- Structure-aware attention preserves helical periodicity
- Message passing reinforces local geometry
- Confidence estimation guides backbone optimization

### Case 3: Loop Region Modeling
- Adaptive sampling handles flexible regions
- Combined techniques provide balanced structure prediction
- Performance comparison across different loop lengths

## Scalability Analysis

### Computational Requirements
1. Memory Usage
- Confidence-guided: O(N) for sequence length N
- Attention-based: O(N²) for attention matrices
- Graph-based: O(N²) for edge features

2. Time Complexity
- Confidence-guided: O(N) linear scaling
- Attention-based: O(N²) quadratic scaling
- Graph-based: O(N²) with sparse optimizations

### Optimization Strategies
