  • Patent number: 9436912
    Abstract: A method involves providing a parent schema, generating a plurality of distinct and domain-specific instantiations of the parent schema, user-validating at least two of the instantiations of the parent schema, and creating a symmetric schema by combining the user-validated instantiations of the parent schema. The parent schema and the instantiations of the parent schema may be user-provided or iteratively generated. The parent schema contains more than one tractable search spaces. Prior to user-validating the instantiations of the parent schema, they may be optimized using domain-specific knowledge. Additionally, one or more existing Boolean features in one or more cases of a case-based reasoning system may be replaced with the instantiations of the parent schema and non-zero weights for the cases may evolve that include the instantiations of the parent schema. The method may also include generating instantiations of the created symmetric schema.

  • Patent number: 9367802
    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining what node of a classification and regression tree (CART) should be used by a predictive analysis application. A first approach is to use a standard deviation of the data at a given the level of the CART to determine whether data in the next, lower node is more consistent than the data in the current node. A second approach is to measure a correlation between data points in a given node and the time at which each point was sampled (or other correlation metric) to identify a preferred node.

  • Patent number: 9330358
    Abstract: A system and method include comparing a context to cases stored in a case base, where the cases include Boolean and non-Boolean independent weight variables and a domain-specific dependency variable. The case and context independent weight variables are normalized and a normalized weight vector is determined for the case base. A match between the received context and each case of the case base is determined using the normalized context and case variables and the normalized weight vector. A skew value is determined for each category of domain specific dependency variables and the category of domain specific dependency variables having the minimal skew value is selected. The dependency variable associated with the selected category is then displayed to a user.

  • Patent number: 9299025
    Abstract: A method includes comparing a user-specified context having natural language contextual antecedents to cases stored in a case base. Each stored case includes case antecedents and case consequents. A matching case exists and is selected if the case antecedents exactly match the contextual antecedents. If no match exists, a best-matching case is determined and selected. The best-matching case may be determined by generalizing the situational part of a rule and comparing the user-specified context to the stored (generalized) cases. The best-matching case is the case having the highest ratio of matching generalized case antecedents to contextual antecedents and having a matching error ratio that does not exceed an error ratio threshold. The case consequents of the selected matching case or best matching case are then displayed to a user, with case base adjustment performed based upon feedback provided by the user in response to the displayed case consequents.

  • Patent number: 9151769
    Abstract: An automated method for calibrating in real time a diagnostic analyzer includes the steps of receiving diagnostic results of patient samples calculated by the analyzer using pre-set parameters of the analyzer, and calculating the centroid of the analyzer's diagnostic results. The centroid of the analyzer's diagnostic results is subtracted from a centroid of diagnostic results of a field population of comparable analyzers to obtain a bias in the centroid of the analyzer's diagnostic results. The bias is compared to predetermined limits. Should the bias fall outside the predetermined limits, an optimization factor is derived and applied to the analyzer's diagnostic results to obtain optimized results from the analyzer without changing the pre-set parameters of the analyzer.

  • Patent number: 9147162
    Abstract: A method for classification of a newly arrived multidimensional data point (MDP) in a dynamic data uses multi-scale extension (MSE). The multi-scale out-of-sample extension (OOSE) uses a coarse-to-fine hierarchy of the multi-scale decomposition of a Gaussian kernel that established the distances between MDPs in a training set to find the coordinates of newly arrived MDPs in an embedded space. A well-conditioned basis is first generated in a source matrix of MDPs. A single-scale out-of-sample extension (OOSE) is applied to the newly arrived MDP on the well-conditioned basis to provide coordinates of an approximate location of the newly arrived MDP in an embedded space. A multi-scale OOSE is then applied to the newly arrived MDP to provide improved coordinates of the newly arrived MDP location in the embedded space.
