+# 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
