Abstract: A system and method enable a set of dataset objects that are K-nearest neighbors (K-NN), based on their Minimax distances to a test object, to be identified without computing the all-pair Minimax distances directly. A pairwise distance between the test object and each dataset object is computed. Iteratively, one of the dataset objects is selected to add to a K-NN set until the K-NN set includes a predefined number of nearest neighbors. The selected dataset object at each iteration is the one for which there is no other unselected dataset object which has a smaller pairwise distance to any of a current subset of objects than the selected dataset object. The current subset of objects includes the test object and the dataset objects currently in the K-NN set. After the K-NN set is identified it may be output or used to generate other information, such as a test object label.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for issuing, evaluating, and monitoring offers and incentives linked to various consumer financial accounts. Financial service account providers, merchants, card-linked offer providers, and/or service providers may collect transaction information relating to the redemption of card-linked offers. From the data, informative metrics may be determined relating to the offer, its redemption rate, and the consumers who redeemed it. The metrics may be used to evaluate the relative success of the offer, and can trigger revenue sharing processes derived from the offer. In certain aspects, incentive offers may be modified based on the metrics. In further embodiments, the metrics may also be used to determine a metric score that provides further information about the card-linked offer campaign.

Abstract: We tested the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of a recombinant bispecific immunotoxin that recognizes both EGFRwt and tumor-specific EGFRvIII receptors. A single chain antibody was cloned from a hybridoma and fused to toxin, carrying a C-terminal peptide which increases retention within cells. The binding affinity and specificity of the recombinant bispecific immunotoxin for the EGFRwt and the EGFRvIII proteins was measured. In vitro cytotoxicity was measured. In vivo activity of the recombinant bispecific immunotoxin was evaluated in subcutaneous models and compared to that of an established monospecific immunotoxin. In our preclinical studies, the bispecific recombinant immunotoxin, exhibited significant potential for treating brain tumors.
