  • Patent number: 11646117
    Abstract: A method is described that utilizes non-negative matrix factorization to predict susceptibility of a microorganism to an antimicrobial drug. A sparse adjacency matrix is constructed from existing ground truth datasets that include antibiogram data and other data associated with microorganisms. The rows of the adjacency matrix correspond to biosamples, and the columns correspond to instances of metadata and drugs associated with one or more of the biosamples. The elements of the adjacency matrix are assigned non-zero numerical values or zero depending on whether a known association exists. The adjacency matrix is then factored using a selected number of latent factors, thereby producing a reconstruction matrix approximating the adjacency matrix. The values of the reconstruction matrix are used to predict antimicrobial susceptibility of a biosample ID to a drug when antibiogram data are lacking.

    Abstract: According to embodiments illustrated herein, there is provided a system for predicting a health condition of a patient. The system further includes one or more processors configured to separately cluster data points from a set of medical records associated with a first class of patients and a second class of patients. A similarity value of each of the clustered data points with respect to a pre-selected subset of data points that represents landmark points may be determined, using a parameterized similarity measure. One or more classifiers are trained using the determined similarity value of each data point. The trained one or more classifiers are adapted to learn one or more parameters of the parameterized similarity measure during the training. An occurrence of the health condition of the patient may be predicted based on the trained one or more classifiers and one or more medical records of the patient.
