  • Patent number: 12738346
    Abstract: Methods, systems, compositions, and computer program products are provided for accurately identifying candidate neoantigens that exhibit immunogenic properties. In some embodiments, a method provided herein includes receiving a set of candidate peptide sequences, each candidate peptide sequence in the set having a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) presentation score meeting a pre-set criterion. The method further includes identifying a corresponding MHC peptide sequence associated with each candidate peptide sequence in the set; generating immunogenicity input vectors from the set of candidate peptide sequences by processing a representation of each candidate peptide sequence in the set of candidate peptide sequences and a representation of the corresponding MHC peptide sequence for each candidate peptide sequence in the set.

  • Patent number: 12731251
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to multi-arm machine learning models for lesion detection. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to accessing a three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Each of the three-dimensional MRI images depict a same volume of a brain of a subject. The volume of the brain includes at least part of one or more lesions. Each three-dimensional MRI image of the three-dimensional MRI images is processed using one or more corresponding encoder arms of a machine-learning model to generate an encoding of the three-dimensional MRI image. The encodings of the three-dimensional MRI images are concatenated to generate a concatenated representation. The concatenated representation is processed using a decoder arm of the machine-learning model to generate a prediction that identifies one or more portions of the volume of the brain predicted to depict at least part of a lesion.
