    Abstract: A method for peptide binding prediction includes receiving a peptide sequence descriptor and descriptors of contacting amino acids on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein-peptide interaction structure; generating a model with an ensemble of high order neural network; pre-training the model by high order semi-restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) or high-order denoising autoencoder; and generating a prediction as a binary output or continuous output with initial model parameters pre-trained using binary output data if available. A systematic learning method for leveraging high-order interactions/associations among items for better collaborative filtering and item recommendation.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for learning disentangled representations for T-cell receptors to improve immunotherapy is provided. The method includes optionally introducing a minimal number of mutations to a T-cell receptor (TCR) sequence to enable the TCR sequence to bind to a peptide, using a disentangled Wasserstein autoencoder to separate an embedding space of the TCR sequence into functional embeddings and structural embeddings, feeding the functional embeddings and the structural embeddings to a long short-term memory (LSTM) or transformer decoder, using an auxiliary classifier to predict a probability of a positive binding label from the functional embeddings and the peptide, and generating new TCR sequences with enhanced binding affinity for immunotherapy to target a particular virus or tumor.

    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.

    Abstract: A method for implementing deep reinforcement learning with T-cell receptor (TCR) mutation policies to generate binding TCRs for immunotherapy includes extracting peptides to identify a virus or tumor cells, collecting a library of TCRs from patients, predicting interaction scores between the extracted peptides and the TCRs from the patients, developing a deep reinforcement learning framework with TCR mutation policies to generate TCRs with maximum binding scores, defining reward functions, outputting mutated TCRs, ranking the outputted TCRs to utilize top-ranked TCR candidates to target the virus or the tumor cells, and for each top-ranked TCR candidate, repeatedly identifying a set of self-peptides that the top-ranked TCR candidate binds to and further optimizing it greedily by maximizing a sum of its interaction scores with a given set of peptide antigens while minimizing a sum of its interaction scores with the set of self-peptides until stopping criteria of efficacy and safety are met.

    Abstract: A method for implementing deep reinforcement learning with T-cell receptor (TCR) mutation policies to generate binding TCRs recognizing target peptides for immunotherapy is presented. The method includes extracting peptides to identify a virus or tumor cells, collecting a library of TCRs from target patients, predicting, by a deep neural network, interaction scores between the extracted peptides and the TCRs from the target patients, developing a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework with TCR mutation policies to generate TCRs with maximum binding scores, defining reward functions based on a reconstruction-based score and a density estimation-based score, randomly sampling batches of TCRs and following a policy network to mutate the TCRs, outputting mutated TCRs, and ranking the outputted TCRs to utilize top-ranked TCR candidates to target the virus or the tumor cells for immunotherapy.

    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.
