    Abstract
    In recent years, monoclonal antibodies have gained attention as highly effective drugs for treating diseases, especially cancer. The high binding affinity between an antibody and its corresponding antigen is one of the key factors in triggering an effective immune response. Modeling binding affinity using machine learning is considered a promising and cost-effective computational approach; however, due to the lack of training data, the performance of these models is often poor and limited. In contrast, recent advances in geometric learning have demonstrated that incorporating the three-dimensional geometry of protein structures in the learning process can significantly impact 3D...
