Publication number: 20240428049Abstract: Anomaly detection in neural networks is provided. The method comprises extracting, from different layers of a recurrent neural network (RNN) for a specified time interval, a number of on-the-fly node activations produced by sequences of event data from a number of data sources and sensors. The method references known node activations of the RNN produced by normal sequences of event data, and for each layer of the RNN, calculates a maximum nonparametric divergence of the on-the-fly node activations from the known node activations. For each layer of the RNN, the method determines a subset of nodes that most contribute to the maximum nonparametric divergence for that layer for a given time window and identifies data sources or sensors from among the number of data sources and sensors responsible for activating the subset of nodes that most contribute to the maximum nonparametric divergence for each layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Celia Cintas, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Skyler Speakman, Komminist Weldemariam

Patent number: 12000833Abstract: PI3K signalling is the most increased pathway in human cancers. The four isoforms of PI3K are thought to be activated by different redundant mechanisms leading to a common downstream signalling. However, the mutational pattern of PI3K pathway or its level of expression is not sufficient to predict the sensitivity to PI3K inhibitors. By identifying for the first time a phosphopeptide that predict the sensitivity to p110? and/or p110? inhibitors, the inventors provide insight in how to handle heterogeneity of PI3K expression patterns in tumoral samples for the choice of available PI3K-targetting drugs. Accordingly, the present relates to a phosphopeptide characterized by the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 (PGTPSDHQSQEASQFER) wherein the threonine residue at position 3 is phosphorylated.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignees: INSERM (INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE), UNIVERSITE PAUL SABATIER TOULOUSE III, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS)Inventors: Julie Guillermet-Guibert, Thibaut Douche, Emmanuelle Mouton-Barbosa, Odile Schiltz, Marie-Pierre Bousquet, CĂ©lia Cintas
