  • Patent number: 11183307
    Abstract: The vocabulary of pertinent terms used to highlight/filter medical records in a text annotation system is continually updated based on user feedback. To maximize the effectiveness of this updating, feedback is extracted from all users of the system, thereby providing a ‘group-sourced’ vocabulary of pertinent terms. As each user modifies the provided vocabulary of pertinent terms to customize the text annotation system to conform to the user's preferences, the modifications are collected and communicated to the provider of the vocabulary of pertinent terms. The provider of the vocabulary of pertinent terms assimilates the modifications implemented by each user of the word annotation system to determine whether to modify the vocabulary of pertinent terms for subsequent users of the common vocabulary of pertinent terms.

  • Patent number: 11182547
    Abstract: Various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing a form generation system are provided. Generating forms includes dynamic generation, personalization, and optimization of the forms based on automation objects that instruct on how to construct, structure and present forms for personalized data capture experiences. In operation, a form generator engine receives a request from a computing device to access a form. The form generator engine accesses form generation automation rules that are based on form generation parameters and automation objects. Using form generation automation rules, form generation parameters are used to generate automation objects including an annotated schema, a machine learning model, and a layout. Based on the form generation automation rules the automation objects are used to generate the form such that at least a field or a section of the form is selected based on a relevance score associated with field or section. The form is communicated for display.
