Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterised by the attack on the myelin sheath, oligodendrocytes, and neurons by immune system cells. For this reason, MS is classified as an autoimmune and demyelinating disease. This work aims to study the influence of both the innate and adaptive immune response activation at the onset and development of MS through the coupling of two mathematical models in different compartments, both based on differential equations. The proposed model is, to the best of our knowledge, the first mathematical model based on differential equations that represent the spatio-temporal dynamics of the innate immune response activation in the brain tissue and the posterior activation of the adaptive cellular and humoral immune system responses in the lymph node through antigen presentation, culminating on the attack to the oligodendrocytes and plaque formation.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
