Abstract: Performance of a neural network is usually a function of the capacity, or complexity, of the neural network, including the depth of the neural network (i.e. the number of layers in the neural network) and/or the width of the neural network (i.e. the number of hidden channels). However, improving performance of a neural network by simply increasing its capacity has drawbacks, the most notable being the increased computational cost of a higher-capacity neural network. Since modern neural networks are configured such that the same neural network is evaluated regardless of the input, a higher capacity neural network means a higher computational cost incurred per input processed. The present disclosure provides for a multi-layer neural network that allows for dynamic path selection through the neural network when processing an input, which in turn can allow for increased neural network capacity without incurring the typical increased computation cost associated therewith.

Abstract: A generative model can be used for generation of spatial layouts and graphs. Such a model can progressively grow these layouts and graphs based on local statistics, where nodes can represent spatial control points of the layout, and edges can represent segments or paths between nodes, such as may correspond to road segments. A generative model can utilize an encoder-decoder architecture where the encoder is a recurrent neural network (RNN) that encodes local incoming paths into a node and the decoder is another RNN that generates outgoing nodes and edges connecting an existing node to the newly generated nodes. Generation is done iteratively, and can finish once all nodes are visited or another end condition is satisfied. Such a model can generate layouts by additionally conditioning on a set of attributes, giving control to a user in generating the layout.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the preparation of high purity arginase and high efficiency preparation of monosubstituted polyethylene glycol conjugation of arginase are provided, as are methods for using arginase in combination with asparaginase to inhibit cancer cells. High purity arginase is provided by applying an initial high temperature precipitation step, followed by ion exchange to provide arginase at a purity of 90% or greater.

Such polyethylene glycol-derivatized arginase is useful in combination with asparaginase in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, particularly cells that have low endogenous asparaginase expression.
