Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) show promises as valuable compounds for developing therapeutic agents to control the worldwide health threat posed by the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Animal venom can be a useful source for screening AMPs due to its various bioactive components. Here, the deep learning model was developed to predict species-specific antimicrobial activity. To overcome the data deficiency, a multi-task learning method was implemented, achieving
