  • Patent number: 11941844
    Abstract: An object detection model generation method as well as an electronic device and a computer readable storage medium using the same are provided. The method includes: during the iterative training of the to-be-trained object detection model, the detection accuracy of the iteration nodes of the object detection model is sequentially determined according to the node order, and the mis-detected negative samples of the object detection model at the iteration nodes with the detection accuracy less than or equal to a preset threshold are enhanced. Then the object detection model is trained at the iteration node based on the enhanced negative samples and a first amount of preset training samples. After the training at the iteration nodes are completed, it returns to the step of sequentially determining the detection accuracy of the iteration nodes of the object detection model until the training of the object detection model is completed.

  • Publication number: 20230346903
    Abstract: The invention relates to immunogenic polysaccharide-protein conjugates comprising a capsular polysaccharide (CP) from Streptococcus agalactiae, commonly referred to as group B streptococcus (GBS), and a carrier protein, wherein the CP is selected from the group consisting of serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX, and wherein the CP has a sialic acid level of greater than about 60%. The invention also relates to methods of making the conjugates and immunogenic compositions comprising the conjugates. The invention also relates to immunogenic compositions comprising polysaccharide-protein conjugates, wherein the conjugates comprise a CP from GBS serotype IV and at least one additional serotype.
