Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and method to perform improved detection of out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs. In particular, current deep generative model-based approaches for OOD detection are significantly negatively affected by and struggle to distinguish population level background statistics from semantic content relevant to the in-distribution examples. In fact, such approaches have even been experimentally observed to assign higher likelihood to OOD inputs, which is opposite to the desired behavior. To resolve this problem, the present disclosure proposes a likelihood ratio method for deep generative models which effectively corrects for these confounding background statistics.

Abstract: The invention relates to protein nanocapsules that exhibit material properties that change in different in vivo environments. A zwitterion moiety on the surface of the nanocapsule can protect the protein from opsonization in a first environment, yet uncouples from the protein nanocapsule in a second environment (e.g. at a pH of less than 6.5). In embodiments of the invention, the uncoupled protein nanocarrier is then internalized by mammalian cells (e.g. tumor cells).
