  • Publication number: 20240029822
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for generating new binding peptides to Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) proteins. The method includes training, by a processor device, a Generative Adversarial Network GAN having a generator and a discriminator only on a set of binding peptide sequences given training data comprising the set of binding peptide sequences and a set of non-binding peptide sequences. A GAN training objective includes the discriminator being iteratively updated to distinguish generated peptide sequences from sampled binding peptide sequences as fake or real and the generator being iteratively updated to fool the discriminator. The training includes optimizing the GAN training objective while learning two projection vectors for a binding class with two cross-entropy losses. A first loss discriminating binding peptide sequences in the training data from non-binding peptide sequences in the training data.

  • Publication number: 20230262293
    Abstract: A multimodal video generation framework (MMVID) that benefits from text and images provided jointly or separately as input. Quantized representations of videos are utilized with a bidirectional transformer with multiple modalities as inputs to predict a discrete video representation. A new video token trained with self-learning and an improved mask-prediction algorithm for sampling video tokens is used to improve video quality and consistency. Text augmentation is utilized to improve the robustness of the textual representation and diversity of generated videos. The framework incorporates various visual modalities, such as segmentation masks, drawings, and partially occluded images. In addition, the MMVID extracts visual information as suggested by a textual prompt.

  • Publication number: 20220327425
    Abstract: Methods and systems for training a machine learning model include embedding a state, including a peptide sequence and a protein, as a vector. An action, including a modification to an amino acid in the peptide sequence, is predicted using a presentation score of the peptide sequence by the protein as a reward. A mutation policy model is trained, using the state and the reward, to generate modifications that increase the presentation score.

  • Publication number: 20220319635
    Abstract: Methods and systems for training a model include encoding training peptide sequences using an encoder model. A new peptide sequence is generated using a generator model. The encoder model, the generator model, and the discriminator model are trained to cause the generator model to generate new peptides that the discriminator mistakes for the training peptide sequences, including learning projection vectors with respective cross-entropy losses for binding sequences and non-binding sequences.

  • Publication number: 20220254152
    Abstract: A method for learning disentangled representations of videos is presented. The method includes feeding each frame of video data into an encoder to produce a sequence of visual features, passing the sequence of visual features through a deep convolutional network to obtain a posterior of a dynamic latent variable and a posterior of a static latent variable, sampling static and dynamic representations from the posterior of the static latent variable and the posterior of the dynamic latent variable, respectively, concatenating the static and dynamic representations to be fed into a decoder to generate reconstructed sequences, and applying three regularizers to the dynamic and static latent variables to trigger representation disentanglement. To facilitate the disentangled sequential representation learning, orthogonal factorization in generative adversarial network (GAN) latent space is leveraged to pre-train a generator as a decoder in the method.

  • Publication number: 20220171989
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for representation disentanglement is provided. The method includes encoding an input vector into an embedding. The method further includes learning, by a hardware processor, disentangled representations of the input vector including a style embedding and a content embedding by performing sample-based mutual information minimization on the embedding under a Wasserstein distance regularization and a Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. The method also includes decoding the style and content embeddings to obtain a reconstructed vector.
