  • Publication number: 20240105283
    Abstract: A machine-learning model (e.g., a clustering model) may be used to predict a phenotype of a tumor based on expression levels of a set of genes. The set of genes may have been identified using a same or different machine-learning model. The phenotype may include an immune-excluded, immune-desert or an inflamed/infiltrated phenotype. A treatment strategy and/or treatment recommendation may be identified based on the predicted phenotype.

  • Publication number: 20240087689
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for abstraction of unstructured clinical trial health data. Particularly, aspects are directed to obtaining, by a data transformation system, an unstructured document that includes various types of content for a given event. The data transformation system converts the unstructured document from an original format into a standardized format. The data transformation system processes the unstructured document in the standardized format to identify template-mapped content data and processes the template-mapped content data to identify high-interest content data. The data transformation system generates a dictionary data structure comprising key-value pairs for each of the template-mapped content data and the high-interest content data. The data transformation system generates a structured document based on the dictionary data structure for each of the template-mapped content data and the high-interest content data.
