  • Publication number: 20250136965
    Abstract: Provided herein are Complement Factor I (CFI) variants that exhibit at least one improved characteristic relative to a wild type CFI. CFI variants of the disclosure can exhibit tunable specificity and activity. Also included are CFI-containing fusion constructs comprising at least one domain of CFI, for example, wild type full length CFI fused to human serum albumin. Also included are methods of making and using such CFI variants and fusion constructs. The CFI variants and fusion constructs provided herein may be useful for treating a disease or condition associated with dysregulation of the complement system or a deficiency of CFI.

  • Publication number: 20250045316
    Abstract: An example method includes providing, to a sequence model (i) a plurality of few-shot prompts, wherein each prompt comprises a demonstration passage, a demonstration task, and a demonstration query, wherein the demonstration task describes a type of retrieval, and wherein the demonstration query is relevant to the demonstration task, and (ii) a plurality of passages sampled from a corpus of passages. The method also includes receiving, from the sequence model and for the plurality of passages and based on the plurality of few-shot prompts, a respective plurality of predicted task-query pairs, the sequence model having been prompted to predict a task based on an input passage, and predict an output query relevant to the predicted task. The method further includes generating a synthetic training dataset comprising the plurality of passages and the respective plurality of predicted task-query pairs. The method also includes providing the synthetic training dataset.
