Abstract: A nanoparticle activity sensor containing a reporter and at least one tuning domain that modifies a distribution or residence time of the activity sensor when administered to a patient. When administered to the patient, the activity sensor enters cells or tissue where it is cleaved by enzymes specific to a physiological state such as a disease to release a detectable analyte. The tuning domains include molecular structures that modulate distribution or decay by protecting the particle from premature cleavage and indiscriminate hydrolysis, shielding the particle from immune detection and clearance, or by targeting the particle to specific tissue, bodily fluids, or cell types.

Abstract: Methods of the disclosure provide an analytical pipeline for mapping activity in a disease-specific manner. Any of a variety of diseases or medical conditions may be mapped using the analytical pipeline. In preferred embodiments, the pipeline uses expression data (e.g., from RNA-Seq) to identify proteases that are active in disease tissue and subject to differential expression relative to normal tissue. A machine learning classifier selects a subset of the proteases that identify the disease with a threshold sensitivity and specificity, in which the subset is small enough that a corresponding set of protease substrates may be assembled into a nanoparticle activity sensor that, when administered to a patient, are cleaved in the presence of disease tissue to release detectable analytes signifying presence of the disease.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for screening or diagnosis of liver disease are provided. The results may also indicate course and efficacy of treatment. The composition includes an activity sensor and a reporter releasably attached to the activity sensor. The method includes detecting the presence and/or amount of a reporter. The reporter is released from an activity sensor in the presence of diseased liver tissue but remains attached to the activity sensor in healthy tissue. The presence and/or amount of the reporter are used to characterize the liver disease. The liver disease may be nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and results may further indicate staging of NASH.

Abstract: Learning to rank modeling in the context of an on-line social network is described. A learning to rank model can learn from pairwise preference (e.g., job posting A is more relevant than job posting B for a particular member profile) thus directly optimizing for the rank order of job postings for each member profile. With ranking position taken into consideration during training, top-ranked job postings may be treated by a recommendation system as being of more importance than lower-ranked job postings. In addition, a learning to rank approach may also result in an equal optimization across all member profiles and help minimize bias towards those member profiles that have been paired with a larger number of job postings.
