Abstract: Single-domain monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind Lassa virus glycoprotein (GPC) are described. The single-domain antibodies (“nanobodies”) were isolated from camel (VHH) and shark variable new antigen (VNAR) phage display libraries panned against a stabilized form of the GPC trimer. The GPC-specific nanobodies, and conjugates thereof, can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of a Lassa virus infection.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for securely communicating sensitive such as an identifier. A user device may receive a first message comprising a terminal type indicator. For certain values of the terminal type indicator, the user device may be configured to transmit a request message comprising a first identifier and an encrypted identifier. For other values of the terminal type indicator, the user device may be configured to generating an obfuscated identifier based at least in part on a first portion of a second identifier and a second portion of the encrypted identifier. The user device may then transmit a request message that includes the obfuscated identifier and the encrypted identifier.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to method and system to estimate model performance based on model decision boundaries. Absence of ground truths in a production scenario makes difficult to estimate the model behavior and performance. The disclosed method receives a set of unlabeled datapoints as input and a set of features are extracted from a training dataset associated with a model for which the performance is being estimated. Further, a nearest neighbor point of each unlabeled datapoint is computed from the training dataset with a first distance and a second distance and an associated ground truth. The performance of the model is estimated by evaluating a label assigned to each unlabeled datapoint from the set of unlabeled datapoints. Then, a decision boundary radius of the model is computed for the nearest neighbor point of each unlabeled datapoint based on the training dataset and the tolerance value using a Bayesian optimization technique.

Abstract: A system for making payments is disclosed. The system performs steps to at least receive a barcode with embedded information linking to a payee account capable of receiving a payment. Based on receiving the barcode a prompt for display on a browser of the user device can be generated, where the prompt requests identification of a financial institution connected to a user of the user device. The prompt can be transmitted to the user device. Identifying information identifying the financial institution can be received in response to the prompt. The financial institution can be accessed based on the response to the prompt. Based on accessing the user financial institution a request for the payment from the user financial institution to the payee account can be made.

Abstract: Methods and systems for privacy-preserving identity attribute verification are presented. During an interaction between a relying entity and a user, a relying entity computer can transmit a policy token to a user device. The policy token may indicate the information needed by the relying entity in order to perform the interaction. The user device can verify the policy token, then use the policy token in conjunction with an identity token to generate a zero-knowledge proof. The user device may transmit the zero-knowledge proof to an identity service provider computer. The identity service provider computer may verify the zero-knowledge proof, then generate a verification message. The identity service provider computer may sign the verification message and transmit the signed verification message to the relying entity computer. The relying entity computer may verify the verification message and complete the interaction with the user.
