Article Abstract

Deep learning has rapidly emerged as a promising toolkit for protein optimization, yet its success remains limited, particularly in the realm of activity. Moreover, most algorithms lack rigorous iterative evaluation, a crucial aspect of protein engineering exemplified by classical directed evolution. This study introduces DeepDE, a robust iterative deep learning-guided algorithm leveraging triple mutants as building blocks and a compact library of ∼1,000 mutants for training. Triple mutants allow for the exploration of a much greater sequence space compared to single or double mutants in each iteration. When applied to GFP from , DeepDE achieved a remarkable 74.3-fold increase in activity over four rounds of evolution, far surpassing the benchmark superfolder GFP. Our study suggests that limited screening involving experimentally affordable ∼1,000 variants significantly enhances the performance of DeepDE, likely by mitigating the constraints imposed by the intractable data sparsity problem in protein engineering.

This study addresses the limitations of traditional interior space design, particularly the timeliness and uniqueness of solutions, by proposing an optimized design framework that integrates a two-stage deep learning network with a single-sample-driven mechanism. In the first stage, the framework employs a Transformer network to extract multi-dimensional features (such as spatial layout, color distribution, furniture style, etc.) from input space images, generating an initial feature vector.

Background: In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) often suffers from misregistration artifact resulting from voluntary, respiratory, and cardiac motion during acquisition. Most prior efforts to register the background DSA mask to subsequent postcontrast images rely on key point registration using iterative optimization, which has limited real-time application.

Purpose: Leveraging state-of-the-art, unsupervised deep learning, we aim to develop a fast, deformable registration model to substantially reduce DSA misregistration in craniocervical angiography without compromising spatial resolution or introducing new artifacts.

Background: Stroke, frequently associated with carotid artery disease, is evaluated using carotid computed tomography angiography (CTA). Dual-energy CTA (DE-CTA) enhances imaging quality but presents challenges in maintaining high image clarity with low-dose scans.

Objectives: To compare the image quality of 50 keV virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) generated using Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) and Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) algorithms under a triple-low scanning protocol in carotid CTA.

Purpose: Accelerating MR acquisition is essential for image guided therapeutic applications. Compressed sensing (CS) has been developed to minimize image artifacts in accelerated scans, but the required iterative reconstruction is computationally complex and difficult to generalize. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs)/Transformers-based deep learning (DL) methods emerged as a faster alternative but face challenges in modeling continuous k-space, a problem amplified with non-Cartesian sampling commonly used in accelerated acquisition.
