CMINNs: Compartment model informed neural networks - Unlocking drug dynamics.

In the field of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) modeling, which plays a pivotal role in the drug development process, traditional models frequently encounter difficulties in fully encapsulating the complexities of drug absorption, distribution, and their impact on targets. Although multi-compartment models are frequently utilized to elucidate intricate drug dynamics, they can also be overly complex. To generalize modeling while maintaining simplicity, we propose an innovative approach that enhances PK and integrated PK-PD modeling by incorporating fractional calculus or time-varying parameter(s), combined with constant or piecewise constant parameters.

AI-Aristotle: A physics-informed framework for systems biology gray-box identification.

Discovering mathematical equations that govern physical and biological systems from observed data is a fundamental challenge in scientific research. We present a new physics-informed framework for parameter estimation and missing physics identification (gray-box) in the field of Systems Biology. The proposed framework-named AI-Aristotle-combines the eXtreme Theory of Functional Connections (X-TFC) domain-decomposition and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) with symbolic regression (SR) techniques for parameter discovery and gray-box identification.
