  • Publication number: 20240161867
    Abstract: One or more techniques for optimizing cancer classification based on covariate characteristics is disclosed. In a first approach, an analytics system may determine separate cutoff thresholds for positively detecting disease signal for different labels for a covariate characteristic. The system may subdivide training samples based on their labels for the covariate characteristic, to separately determine the cutoff thresholds. In other approaches, the system may train disparate classifiers for each population. The system separates the training samples based on their labels for the covariate characteristic, and separately trains classifiers to generate a signal vector representing an amount of disease signal detected in a sample. The classifiers may be trained on different feature sets as determined based on mutual information gain, genomic region coverage, and healthy activation fraction.

  • Publication number: 20240144246
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for stake-prioritized serving of utility in a network of a plurality of servers, with stake verification on a proof-of-stake blockchain. For stake-controlled inflation the utility may be validated in a plurality of validators that set stake-weighted utility assessment values for each utility server registered on the blockchain, where a consensus calculator may determine a relative utility measure and level of agreement and adjusts the next block reward so that servers obtain inflation in proportion to their level of agreed utility. New servers and validators may register and may thereby activate stake in the utility network by solving a proof-of-work challenge verified on the blockchain, after which servers can serve utility and validators can validate utility and influence blockchain inflation distribution.
