Abstract: Discovering molecules (which may be known or may never have been cataloged or ever synthesized) that have desired characteristics is addressed using a machine learning approach. As compared to a brute-force search of a database of known molecules, which may not be computationally feasible, the present machine learning approach renders identification of both known and unknown molecules computationally tractable. Furthermore, the computational effort is largely shifted to training of the machine learning system using a database of known molecules, and the generation of molecules to match any particular characteristics requires relatively little computation. The molecules using the present approach may be further studied, for example, with computer-based simulation or after physical synthesis using biological experimentation to ultimately yield useful chemical compounds.

Abstract: A system for health services is provided. When a provider partners with the system the provider is assisted with the creation of an introduction video explaining their practice. The provider may also be assisted in the creation of videos that correspond to the top conditions or diseases treated by the provider as well as the top medicines that are prescribed. When a patient schedules a health service, the patient is initially provided the introduction video for the provider. During the health service, the system collects the health data entered or spoken by the provider. Based on the monitored data, the system automatically recommends relevant videos or content that may be included in a report for the patient. After the health service is completed, the system may further assist the provider in creating a video that explains the diagnosis and recommended treatment regiments.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for multi-phase cloud service node error prediction are described herein. A set of spatial metrics and a set of temporal metrics may be obtained for node devices in a cloud computing platform. The node devices may be evaluated using a spatial machine learning model and a temporal machine learning model to create a spatial output and a temporal output.
