The relevance system includes a relevance model. The relevance model determines a relevance of each medical study to the patient profile based on a semantic relationship score, a concept relationship score, and a term-occurrence score. The semantic relationship score is a measure of a similarity in semantic meaning of a medical study and a patient profile. The concept relationship score is a measure of the closeness of medical concepts in a medical study to medical concepts in a patient profile. The term-occurrence score is a measure of occurrences of terms in a medical study that also appear in a patient profile and the statistical significances of the terms.

Abstract: A method and a device for localization using grid-based localization of map constraints are described. In an example, an indoor space is divided into a grid of tessellated polygonal tiles in a hierarchical structure. The grid is correlated with physical entities in the indoor space by associating each physical entity with a polygonal tile. Further, an absolute probability value indicative of presence of a device therein is associated with each polygonal tile. As part of associating, the absolute probability value is allocated to each polygonal tile in each hierarchical level to create a probability map for the indoor space. The probability map is used to generate a grid map for the indoor space and the grid map is usable to determine location of the device in the indoor space.
