AbstractHuman leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex molecules play an essential role in immune interactions by presenting peptides on the cell surface to T cells. With significant progress in deep learning, a series of neural network based models have been proposed and demonstrated with their good performances for peptide-HLA class I binding prediction. However, there still lack effective binding prediction models for HLA class II protein binding with peptides due to its inherent challenges. In this work, we present a novel sequence-based pan-specific neural network structure, DeepSeaPanII, for peptide-HLA class II binding prediction. Compared with existing pan-specific models, our model is an end-to-end neural network model without the need for pre- or post-processing on input samples. Besides state-of-the-art peformance in binding affinity prediction, DeepSeqPanII can also extract biological insight on the binding mechanism over the peptide and HLA sequences by its attention mechanism based binding core prediction capability. The leave-one-allele-out cross validation and benchmark evaluation results show that our proposed network model achieved state-of-the-art performance in HLA-II peptide binding.

Abstract Background: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex molecules play an essential role in immune interactions by presenting peptides on the cell surface to T cells. With significant progress in deep learning, a series of neural network based models have been proposed and demonstrated with their good performances for peptide-HLA class I binding prediction. However, there still lack effective binding prediction models for HLA class II protein binding with peptides due to its inherent challenges. In this work, we present a novel sequence-based pan-specific neural network structure, DeepSeaPanII, for peptide-HLA class II binding prediction. Compared with existing pan-specific models, our model is an end-to-end neural network model without the need for pre- or post-processing on input samples. Results: The leave-one-allele-out cross validation and benchmark evaluation results show that our proposed network model achieved state-of-the-art performance in HLA-II peptide binding. Besides state-of-the-art performance in binding affinity prediction, DeepSeqPanII can also extract biological insight on the binding mechanism over the peptide and HLA sequences by its attention mechanism based binding core prediction capability. Conclusions: In this work, we present a novel neural network structure for peptide-HLA class II binding prediction. It has state-of-the-art performance and could display insightful information it learned benefiting from attention module we carefully designed. Without requiring additional data, this structure could be applied to other related sequence problems.

AbstractMotivationThe immune system has potential to present a wide variety of peptides to itself as a means of surveillance for pathogenic invaders. This means of surveillances allows the immune system to detect peptides derives from bacterial, viral, and even oncologic sources. However, given the breadth of the epitope repertoire, in order to study immune responses to these epitopes, investigators have relied on in-silico prediction algorithms to help narrow down the list of candidate epitopes, and current methods still have much in the way of improvement.ResultsWe present Allele-Integrated MHC (AI-MHC), a deep learning architecture with improved performance over the current state-of-the-art algorithms in human Class I and Class II MHC binding prediction. Our architecture utilizes a convolutional neural network that improves prediction accuracy by 1) allowing one neural network to be trained on all peptides for all alleles of a given class of MHC molecules by making the allele an input to the net and 2) introducing a global max pooling operation with an optimized kernel size that allows the architecture to achieve translational invariance in MHC-peptide binding analysis, making it suitable for sequence analytics where a frame of interest needs to be learned in a longer, variable length sequence. We assess AI-MHC against internal independent test sets and compare against all algorithms in the IEDB automated server benchmarks, demonstrating our algorithm achieves state-of-the-art for both Class I and Class II prediction.Availability and ImplementationAI-MHC can be used via web interface at baras.pathology.jhu.edu/[email protected]

In this study, we present a novel performance-enhancing binarized neural network model called PresB-Net: Parametric Binarized Neural Network. A binarized neural network (BNN) model can achieve fast output computation with low hardware costs by using binarized weights and features. However, performance degradation is the most critical problem in BNN models. Our PresB-Net combines several state-of-the-art BNN structures including the learnable activation with additional trainable parameters and shuffled grouped convolution. Notably, we propose a new normalization approach, which reduces the imbalance between the shuffled groups occurring in shuffled grouped convolutions. Besides, the proposed normalization approach helps gradient convergence so that the unstableness of the learning can be amortized when applying the learnable activation. Our novel BNN model enhances the classification performance compared with other existing BNN models. Notably, the proposed PresB-Net-18 achieves 73.84% Top-1 inference accuracy for the CIFAR-100 dataset, outperforming other existing counterparts.

For the city’s road conditions, a nonlinear regression prediction model based on BP Neural Network was built. The simulation shows it has good adaptability and strong nonlinear mapping ability. Using the wavelet basis function as hidden layer nodes transfer function, a BP-Neural- Network-topology-based Wavelet Neural Network model was proposed. The model can overcome the defects of the BP Neural Network model that easy to fall into local minimum and cannot perform global search. The feasibility of the model was proved using measured data from yingbin avenue in jiangmen city.
