  • Publication number: 20250139335
    Abstract: The present application describes a computer-implemented method for identifying target-specific T cells and their T cell Receptor (TCR) sequences. The method includes deriving single cell T cell data from a sample. The data comprises T cell profile and T cell TCR sequence. The method also includes selecting candidate T cells and their TCR sequences from the single cell T cell data using a machine learning classifier that is trained to classify T cells based on their profiles. The method may also include aggregating results over clonotypes, adding T cells with similar TCR sequences and ranking the list of candidates.

    Abstract: A method for allocating a workload to a cluster machine of a plurality of cluster machines which are part of a computer cluster operating in a cluster computing environment, includes the step of collecting values from hardware performance counters of each of the cluster machines while the cluster machines are running different workloads. A value of a hardware performance counter from a system which executed the workload to be allocated in isolation and the values from the hardware performance counters of each of the cluster machines which are running the different workloads are used as input to a machine learning algorithm trained to provide as output in each case a prediction of a performance of the workload on each of the cluster machines which are running the different workloads. The cluster machine is selected for placement of the workload based on the predictions.
