  • Publication number: 20210407641
    Abstract: A method for assessing the quality of a coach includes collecting information; determining a set of metrics based on the information; and determining a coach quality based on the set of metrics. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: determining a set of one or more outcomes key drivers (OKDs) associated with success of a participant and/or the health program; determining a set of models associated with the set of one or more OKDs; for each of the set of coaches, determining a baseline quality associated with the coach; producing an output and/or triggering an action based on the coach quality; and/or any other suitable processes.

  • Patent number: 9798776
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for parsing search queries. In accordance with some embodiments, search records including character strings are retrieved, and search query templates are generated comprising sequences of categories corresponding to character substrings of the character strings. Also, in accordance with some embodiments, search queries are parsed into character substrings and matched with a search query template. The search query template may then be used to associate categories with the character substrings. A search engine may use the categories to focus or otherwise refine a search based on parsed search query.

  • Patent number: 9740767
    Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for analyzing failed and successful search queries. In accordance with some embodiments, search records with character strings that are refinements of character strings of other search records are deemed related as belonging to a same user search. Minimum changed sections between character strings in related search records are determined. Correction pairs are created including the character sequences from the portions of the character strings containing the minimum changed sections. Frequencies of correction pairs in a pool of correction pairs are calculated, and the correction pairs appearing in the pool most frequently are stored in a correction log.

  • Patent number: 8490064
    Abstract: Metadata can be used for determining or selecting debug points to activate for server software. The metadata can be used for selecting or logically grouping the debug point without requiring the selecting of debug points based upon package boundaries. The metadata can be used by the system to produce a select set of the debug activation information. This debug activation information can be used by a management unit to activate debug points in the server software.

  • Publication number: 20120231541
    Abstract: Disclosed are assays, methods, and kits for the screening of test compounds for their capability to induce cardiotoxicity in a subject. In particular, whether a test compound has the effect to prolong the Q-T interval as measured by an electrocardiogram in a human. The assays, methods, and kits disclosed herein make use of the binding interaction between novel fluorescent tracers and the hERG K+ channel, and the propensity of a test compound to influence that binding interaction.
