ArXi:2604.18022v1 Announce Type: cross The inverse Potts problem for estimating evolutionary single-site fields and pairwise couplings in homologous protein sequences from their single-site and pairwise amino acid frequencies observed in their multiple sequence alignment would be still one of useful methods in the studies of protein structure and evolution. Since the reproducibility of fields and couplings are the most important, the Boltzmann machine method is employed here, although it is computationally intensive.
