  • Patent number: 11416713
    Abstract: A novel distributed method for machine learning is described, where the algorithm operates on a plurality of data silos, such that the privacy of the data in each silo is maintained. In some embodiments, the attributes of the data and the features themselves are kept private within the data silos. The method includes a distributed learning algorithm whereby a plurality of data spaces are co-populated with artificial, evenly distributed data, and then the data spaces are carved into smaller portions whereupon the number of real and artificial data points are compared. Through an iterative process, clusters having less than evenly distributed real data are discarded. A plurality of final quality control measurements are used to merge clusters that are too similar to be meaningful. These distributed quality control measures are then combined from each of the data silos to derive an overall quality control metric.

  • Publication number: 20220198319
    Abstract: A method for creating machine learning model performance alerts showing the drifting of functions is described herein. The method starts by creating the initial machine learning model using a training data set. This initial machine learning model is then used in production, and the model is updated to account for the production data. To assure the quality of the updated machine learning model, test data results from the initial machine learning model is compared to the results from the updated machine learning model. Each feature is checked to see if the difference is within a p-value and whether the confidence intervals overlap. If not, an alert is generated to take action on the model.

  • Patent number: 11367515
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting suspicious activities surrounding the management of controlled substances in a medical facility is described herein, where the activities that may indicate the diversion of controlled drugs are flagged for further review. The activities are detected by reviewing application layer network packets, related to controlled substances, on the medical facility network, identifying the physical location of the origin of the packet, and processing these packets with a rules engine and machine learning generated rules to make a determination if the circumstances surrounding the packets indicate the diversion of controlled substances.

  • Publication number: 20220171753
    Abstract: A two-step algorithm for conducting near real time fuzzy searches of a target on one or more large data sets is described, where the address and the geolocation are included in the match criteria. This algorithm includes the simplification of the data by removing grammatical constructs to bring the target search term (and the stored database) to their base elements and then perform a Levenshtein comparison to create a subset of the data set that may be a match. Location is determined by a geohash comparison of the latitude and longitude and a Levenshtein comparison of the address text. Then performing a scoring algorithm while comparing the target to the subset of the data set to identify any matches.

  • Patent number: 11163955
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for matching user inputted text to stored text. The user inputted text is compared to each of the text strings stored in a database using a string similarity score determined using a Levenshtein distance algorithm, the n-gram or trigram methods, the Jaro-Winkler algorithm, the Cosine similarity algorithm, the Hamming distance algorithm, the Damerau-Levenshtein distance algorithm, or similar. For each comparison, the string similarity score is analyzed to determine exact matches, non-matches, and probable matches. Probable matches are further analyzed using a keyboard distance algorithm to differentiate between matches and non-matches.
