Abstract:
A system for binding peptide search for immunotherapy is presented. The system includes employing a deep neural network to predict a peptide presentation given Major Histocompatibility Complex allele sequences and peptide sequences, training a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to reconstruct peptides by converting the peptide sequences into continuous embedding vectors, running a Monte Carlo Tree Search to generate a first set of positive peptide vaccine candidates, running a Bayesian Optimization search with the trained VAE and a Backpropagation search with the trained VAE to generate a second set of positive peptide vaccine candidates, using a sampling from a Position Weight Matrix (sPWM) to generate a third set of positive peptide vaccine candidates, screening and merging the first, second, and third sets of positive peptide vaccine candidates, and outputting qualified peptides for immunotherapy from the screened and merged sets of positive peptide vaccine candidates.
