Abstract: A regularized multi-metric active learning (AL) image classification system which includes three main parts. First, a regularized multi-metric learning process is utilized to jointly learn distinct metrics for different types of image features from remotely sensed image data. The regularizer incorporates the unlabeled data based on the neighborhood relationship, which helps avoid overfitting at early stages of AL, when the quantity of training data is particularly small. Then, as AL proceeds, the regularizer is also updated through similarity propagation, thus taking advantage of informative labeled samples. Finally, multiple features are projected into a common feature space, in which a batch-mode AL strategy combining uncertainty and diversity is utilized in conjunction with k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classification to enrich the set of labeled samples.

Abstract: In one aspect, methods of sensing are described herein. In some embodiments, a method of sensing includes disposing a fluorophore in a biological environment, wherein the fluorophore includes a dioxo-pyridine ring (DPR) or a thiazolopyridine acid (TPA). The method further includes exposing the biological environment to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength corresponding to an excitation wavelength of the fluorophore, detecting light emitted by the fluorophore, and correlating the light emitted by the fluorophore to a presence or absence of an analyte within the biological environment in an amount above a minimum detection threshold. The presence of the analyte can increase or decrease the amount of light emitted by the fluorophore. The presence of the analyte may also shift the peak emission wavelength or alter the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophore. The analyte, in some embodiments, includes hydrogen ions, halide ions, and/or halogens.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for targeting antibodies to amyloid deposits. For example, amyloid-reactive peptides that bind amyloid deposits are administered to a subject. Antibodies to the amyloid-reactive peptides are then administered to the subject. Upon administration of the antibodies, the amyloid-reactive peptides bind the antibodies and thus pre-target the antibodies to the amyloid deposits. In other examples, an amyloid-reactive fusion peptide contains an epitope of a known antibody. When the fusion peptide is administered to a subject, the fusion peptide binds amyloids in the subject. Administration to the subject of the known antibody that binds the epitope of the fusion peptide then targets the antibody to the amyloid deposit to which the fusion peptide is bound.
