Abstract: Ghost routing is a network verification technique that uses a portion of a production network itself to verify the impact of potential network changes. Ghost routing logically partitions the production network into a main network and a ghost network. The main network handles live traffic while the ghost network handles traffic generated for diagnostic purposes. The ghost network may have a network topology identical to the production network and may use the same hardware and software as the production network. An operator may implement a network configuration change on the ghost network and then use verification tools to verify that the network configuration change on the ghost network does not result in bugs. Verifying on the ghost network may not affect the main network. If the network operator verifies the network configuration change on the ghost network, the network operator may implement the network configuration change on the main network.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein combine both masked reconstruction and predictive coding. Specifically, unlike contrastive learning, the mutual information between past states and future states are directly estimated. The context information can also be directly captured via shifted masked reconstruction—unlike standard masked reconstruction, the target reconstructed observations are shifted slightly towards the future to incorporate more predictability. The estimated mutual information and shifted masked reconstruction loss can then be combined as the loss function to update the neural model.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for increasing the therapeutic efficiency of oncolytic bacterial therapeutics. Bacterial oncolytic therapies, especially the ones targeting tumor hypoxia such as C. novyi-NT, often encounter incomplete tumor clearance in less hypoxic tumoral areas and severe inflammatory reactions. In this study, we explored immune-modulating preconditioning to suppress the host neutrophils and significantly enhanced the antitumor efficacy of C. novyi-NT in animal models, including an orthotopic brain tumor model in rabbits. The optimized preconditioning agent, hydroxyurea, is clinically approved and C. novyi-NT has demonstrated manageable safety and promising antitumor responses in clinical trials. Thus, the proposed preconditioning of neutrophil suppression is readily translatable to patients undergoing C. novyi-NT trials or other oncolytic biologic therapies and could improve outcome.
