  • Patent number: 11288585
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for constructing and programming quantum hardware for machine learning processes. A Quantum Statistic Machine (QSM) is described, consisting of three distinct classes of strongly interacting degrees of freedom including visible, hidden and control quantum subspaces or subsystems. The QSM is defined with a programmable non-equilibrium ergodic open quantum Markov chain with a unique attracting steady state in the space of density operators. The solution of an information processing task, such as a statistical inference or optimization task, can be encoded into the quantum statistics of an attracting steady state, where quantum inference is performed by minimizing the energy of a real or fictitious quantum Hamiltonian. The couplings of the QSM between the visible and hidden nodes may be trained to solve hard optimization or inference tasks.

  • Patent number: 11270225
    Abstract: A machine learning system continuously receives tag signals indicating membership relations between data objects from a data corpus and tag targets. The machine learning system is asynchronously and iteratively trained with the received tag signals to identify further data objects from the data corpus predicted to have a membership relation with the single tag target. The machine learning system constantly improves its predictive accuracy in short time by the continuous training of a backend machine learning model based on implicit and explicit tag signals gathered from a non-intrusive monitoring of user interactions during a review process of the data corpus.

  • Patent number: 11257000
    Abstract: An individual having a plurality of first features and a second characteristic is identified. A plurality of second features associated with a second characteristic is determined. For each first feature among the plurality of first features, a respective probability distribution indicating, for each respective second feature, a probability that a person having the respective second feature has the first feature, is determined, thereby generating a plurality of probability distributions. A probabilistic classifier is used to combine the plurality of probability distributions, thereby generating a merged probability distribution. A Monte Carlo method is used to generate a prediction set based on the merged probability distribution, the prediction set including a plurality of prediction values for the second characteristic of the individual, each respective prediction value being associated with one of the plurality of second features.

  • Patent number: 11250368
    Abstract: A business prediction method includes: obtaining a first business sample set and a second business sample set; performing training based on the first business sample set and the second business sample set to obtain a business prediction model, and predicting received to-be-predicted business information based on the business prediction model to obtain a business prediction result corresponding to the received to-be-predicted business information. A business prediction apparatus is further provided. The business prediction method and the business prediction apparatus take into account data features of some business samples of being rejected in a business validation, while considering business samples of passing the business validation. This restores a business scenario, reduces the waste of costs of the rejected samples, and balances demands for a modeling sample and a rejected sample reasonably when there are insufficient samples of passing the business validation.

  • Patent number: 11238955
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating, by a processor, a set of training data for each phenotype in a database including a set of subjects. The set of training data is generated by dividing genomic information of N subjects selected with or without repetition into windows, computing a distribution of genomic events in the windows for each of N subjects, and extracting, for each window, a tensor that represents the distribution of genomic events for each of N subjects. A set of test data is generated for each phenotype in the database, a distribution of genomic events in windows for each phenotype is computed, and a tensor is extracted for each window that represents a distribution of genomic events for each phenotype. The method includes classifying each phenotype of the test data with a classifier, and assigning a phenotype to a patient.

  • Patent number: 11216751
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating labels for training a machine learning mode using an incremental time window process. The described process may be used in a recurrence detection system. A dataset may be analyzed using incremental split dates to divide the dataset into an analysis portion and a holdout portion. The analysis portion may be analyzed to determine input features related to a predicted recurrence in the dataset. The holdout portion may be tested against the analysis portion and the input features to generate a label. The label may indicate whether or not the holdout portion confirms the prediction. The testing of the holdout portion against the analysis portion may be repeated by incrementally using different split dates and multiple separate analysis portions and holdout portions to generate multiple labels and corresponding input features.

  • Patent number: 11195114
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a medical data analysis method and device. The method comprises locating a semantic subspace of the subject in a medical data set by taking the physical parameter as a feature; and analyzing the probability P1 of the subject being in the semantic subspace that the subject belongs to by judging the semantic consistency of the semantic subspace where the physical parameter of the subject exists. In addition, it is also possible to analyze the probability P2 of the subject being in the node that the subject belongs to based on the evidence transference score of the physical parameter of the subject on the medical knowledge graph. P=?×P1+(1??)×P2 The probability P of the subject being in the semantic subspace or node that the subject belongs to can be determined by P=?×P1+(1??)×P2, wherein ? is a reconciling parameter, 0<?<1. Through these solutions, the analysis accuracy and efficiency can be improved and the cost can be decreased.

  • Patent number: 11170312
    Abstract: System, apparatus and method may permit users to collaboratively engage in inference on a computer and visualize structure of that inference, and provide a formal verification system for informal argumentation and inference. The system and method may generate and allow for modification of graphical structures that represent sequences of structured rational argumentation; and automatically monitor, compute and represent ratings or scores of nodes within the structure; indicate whether a node is supported by a chain of argumentation that has not been validly rebutted. The graphical structures may be displayed to bring into focus contentious and significant underlying points within an argument, and simulate the effects of alternative resolutions of these contentious points. The graphical displays may provide a transparent verification to other users of the state of what can be demonstrated and refuted, allow discovery of weak or missing points in a logical argument, and allow rational inference by users.
