  • Publication number: 20240054348
    Abstract: A system includes a computing device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory. The at least one processor is programmed to (a) store a plurality of historical time series data; (b) randomly select a sequence; (c) randomly select a mask length for a mask for the selected sequence; (d) apply the mask to the selected sequence, wherein the mask is applied to the plurality of forecast variables in the selected sequence; (e) execute a model with the masked selected sequence to generate predictions for the masked forecast variables; (f) compare the predictions for the masked forecast variables to the actual forecast variables in the selected sequence; (g) determine if convergence occurs based upon the comparison; and (h) if convergence has not occurred, update one or more parameters of the model and return to step b.

  • Patent number: 11173204
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are described for generating an improved effective immune response against an immunogen in humans. The enhanced immune response, is obtained by using an MVA vector as a prime, an adenovirus vector as a first boost, and an adenovirus vector as a second boost. The compositions and methods can be used to provide a protective immunity against a disease, such as an infection of one or more subtypes of Ebola and Marburg filoviruses, in humans.
