  • Patent number: 10949807
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using a mathematical model based on historical information to automatically schedule and monitor work flows are disclosed. Prediction methods that use some variables to predict unknown or future values of other variables may assist in reducing manual intervention when addressing incident reports or other task-based work items. For example, work items that are expected to conform to a supervised model built from historical customer information. Given a collection of records in a training set, each record contains a set of attributes with one of the attributes being the class. If a model can be found for the class attribute as a function of the values of the other attributes, then previously unseen records may be assigned a class as accurately as possible based on the model. A test data set is used to determine model accuracy prior to allowing general use of the model.

  • Patent number: 10930371
    Abstract: A method of creating characteristic peak profiles of mass spectra and identification model for analyzing and identifying microorganisms are provided. MALDI-TOF MS data of microorganisms having the same feature are gathered. Discretization of the data is performed. Density-based clustering is used to find m/z values of spectral peaks with high probability of occurrence from the discretized data. A characteristic MS peak profile is created for every specific feature of microorganisms. Every such a characteristic profile forms a feature template. The mass spectrum of each known isolate is matched against all the feature templates and a number of matched vectors are obtained. The matched vectors are then concatenated into a single “integrated vector.” Then, a machine learning method and the integrated vectors generated from all known isolates are used to create a classification model for microorganism identification.

  • Patent number: 10885149
    Abstract: A volumetric segmentation method is disclosed for brain region analysis, in particular but not limited to, regions of the basal ganglia such as the subthalamic nucleus (STN). This serves for visualization and localization within the sub-cortical region of the basal ganglia, as an example of prediction of a region of interest for deep brain stimulation procedures. A statistical shape model is applied for variation modes of the STN, or the corresponding regions of interest, and its predictors on high-quality training sets obtained from high-field, e.g., 7T, MR imaging. The partial least squares regression (PLSR) method is applied to induce the spatial relationship between the region to be predicted, e.g., STN, and its predictors. The prediction accuracy for validating the invention is evaluated by measuring the shape similarity and the errors in position, size, and orientation between manually segmented STN and its predicted one.
