  • Publication number: 20210319847
    Abstract: A method is provided for peptide-based vaccine generation. The method receives a dataset of positive and negative binding peptide sequences. The method pre-trains a set of peptide binding property predictors on the dataset to generate training data. The method trains a Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN) only on the positive binding peptide sequences, in which a discriminator of the WGAN is updated to distinguish generated peptide sequences from sampled positive peptide sequences from the training data, and a generator of the WGAN is updated to fool the discriminator. The method trains the WGAN only on the positive binding peptide sequences while simultaneously updating the generator to minimize a kernel Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) loss between the generated peptide sequences and the sampled peptide sequences and maximize prediction accuracies of a set of pre-trained peptide binding property predictors with parameters of the set of pre-trained peptide binding property predictors being fixed.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for responding to changing conditions include training a model, using a processor, using trajectories that resulted in a positive outcome and trajectories that resulted in a negative outcome. Training is performed using an adversarial discriminator to train the model to generate trajectories that are similar to historical trajectories that resulted in a positive outcome, and using a cooperative discriminator to train the model to generate trajectories that are dissimilar to historical trajectories that resulted in a negative outcome. A dynamic response regime is generated using the trained model and environment information. A response to changing environment conditions is performed in accordance with the dynamic response regime.
