  • Patent number: 10832148
    Abstract: The system gathers a set of biometric data for a first driver of a vehicle. The system classifies the set of biometric data as belonging in one of a plurality of biometric conditions. The plurality of biometric conditions include at least one normal biometric condition representative of a normal, attentive condition and a first abnormal biometric condition representative of an inattentive condition. The system determines a personal threshold between the normal biometric condition and the first abnormal biometric condition for the first driver for a first biometric parameter. In a driving phase, the system monitors biometric data of the first driver to determine whether the first driver has passed from the normal biometric condition to the first abnormal biometric condition according to the personal threshold.

  • Patent number: 10755163
    Abstract: A system for prospectively identifying media characteristics for inclusion in media content is disclosed. A neural network database including media characteristic information and feature information may associate relationships among the media characteristic information and feature information. Personal characteristic information associated with target media consumers may be used to select a subset of the neural network database. A first set of nodes, representing selected feature information, may be activated. The node interactions may be calculated to detect the activation of a second set of nodes, the second set of nodes representing media characteristic information. Generally, a node is activated when an activation value of the node exceeds a threshold value. Media characteristic information may be identified for inclusion in media content based on the second set of nodes.

  • Patent number: 10748070
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for identification and presentation of changelogs relevant to a tenant of a multi-tenant cloud service. Change feature extraction is performed on changelogs associated with a tenant of the multi-tenant cloud service to identify features associated with the changelogs. Machine learning based classification can then be performed on the changelogs to classify the changelogs. Misclassification correction might also be performed on the classified changelogs. Machine learning can also be utilized to identify a subset of the changelogs as being relevant to the tenant. A user interface (UI) can then be generated and provided to the tenant that includes the subset of the changelogs. The tenant's interaction with the changelogs presented in the UI can be monitored and data describing the interaction can be used to modify machine learning models utilized for machine learning change classification and for determining the relevance of a changelog to the tenant.

  • Patent number: 10733499
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to identifying active compounds for a targeted medium from a library of compounds. In one scenario, a computer system receives high throughput screening (HTS) data for a subset of compounds that have been HTS-screened. The computer system determines labels for a subset of compounds based on labels identified in the HTS-screened compounds as being part of an active class or part of an inactive class, access chemical features corresponding to the HTS-screened compounds, apply Fuzzy logic membership functions to calculate membership values for active and inactive compounds to determine the degree to which each compound belongs to the active class or to the inactive class, train an artificial neural network (ANN) to identify active compounds in silico based on the Fuzzy logic membership functions, and process another subset of compounds in silico to identify active and inactive compounds using the trained artificial neural network.

  • Patent number: 10672516
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for facilitating clinical decision making by directing the emission of computer-generated health-care related recommendations towards contexts in which the recipient will likely find the recommendations salient and will likely welcome them and act upon them. ‘Uptake’ of computer-generated recommendations for diagnostic tests or therapeutic interventions is thereby substantially increased, and ‘alert fatigue’ is substantially decreased. Embodiments of our technology overcome certain drawbacks associated with the prior art by providing a means for ascertaining which decision-support recommendations are likely to be favorably considered by the recipient and acted-upon (recommendation ‘uptake’). System and method embodiments for providing a predicted probability of user uptake of a context-specific system-generated recommendation patient are disclosed herein and for applying that information to decide whether or not to emit the relevant recommendation.
