Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Network Basics

The class of adaptive systems known as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) was motivated by the amazing parallel processing capabilities of biological brains (especially the human brain). The main driving force was to re-create these abilities by constructing artificial models of the biological neuron. The power of biological neural structures stems from the enormous number of highly interconnecte...

The Basics of Artificial Antigen Presenting Cells in T Cell-Based Cancer Immunotherapies

Adoptive T cell transfer (ACT) can mediate objective responses in patients with advanced malignancies. There have been major advances in this field, including the optimization of the ex vivo generation of tumor-reactive lymphocytes to ample numbers for effective ACT therapy via the use of natural and artificial antigen presenting cells (APCs). Herein we review the basic properties of APCs and h...

SDL Basics

This tutorial is a quick introduction to the basic ideas, concepts and features of SDL. It starts by introducing the class of systems that SDL is intended for and the main features of their behaviour. The correspondence between these features and the basic concepts of SDL are explained. Then the various language elements of SDL are introduced gradually and exemplified by way of a simple system ...
