Abstract: A computer-implemented method of machine-learning. The method comprises providing a dataset of 3D modeled objects each representing a mechanical part. Each 3D modeled object comprises a specification of a geometry of the mechanical part. The method further comprises learning a set of parameterization vectors each respective to a respective 3D modeled object of the dataset and a neural network configured to take as input a parameterization vector and to output a representation of a 3D modeled object usable in a differentiable simulation-based shape optimization. The learning comprises minimizing a loss that penalizes, for each 3D modeled object of the dataset, a disparity between the output of the neural network for an input parameterization vector respective to the 3D modeled object and a representation of the 3D modeled object. The representation of the 3D modeled object is usable in a differentiable simulation-based shape optimization.

Abstract: PI3K signalling is the most increased pathway in human cancers. The four isoforms of PI3K are thought to be activated by different redundant mechanisms leading to a common downstream signalling. The inventors questioned this concept, by mapping differential isoform-specific downstream signalling in response to their constant selective inhibition in pancreatic cancer, a disease currently without therapy. They identified common and specific signals activated by each PI3K isoform. These data make the rational for the development of highly selective PI3K isoform drugs used in combination, instead of compounds inhibiting all PI3Ks. In particular, the inventors showed that combined p110a and 110? inhibition is the most efficient strategy for pancreatic cancer patients.
