  • Patent number: 11620474
    Abstract: An anomaly analysis system generates models capable of more accurately identifying anomalies in data that contains unsatisfactory training data. The anomaly analysis system determines when data contains unsatisfactory training data. When an anomaly is detected in data using an initially selected model, and the data contains unsatisfactory training data, model reselection is performed. The reselected model analyzes the data. The reselected model is used to identify any anomalies in the data based on a data point from the data being outside of a confidence interval related to a predicted point by the reselected model corresponding to the data point.

  • Patent number: 11607179
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing pathologies utilizing quantitative imaging are presented herein. Advantageously, the systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize a hierarchical analytics framework that identifies and quantify biological properties/analytes from imaging data and then identifies and characterizes one or more pathologies based on the quantified biological properties/analytes. This hierarchical approach of using imaging to examine underlying biology as an intermediary to assessing pathology provides many analytic and processing advantages over systems and methods that are configured to directly determine and characterize pathology from underlying imaging data.

  • Patent number: 11593942
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fully convolutional genetic neural network method for segmentation of infant brain record images. First, infant brain record image data is input and preprocessed, and genetic coding initialization is performed for parameters according to the length of a DMPGA-FCN network weight. Then, m individuals are randomly grouped into genetic native subpopulations and corresponding twin subpopulations are derived, where respective crossover probability and mutation probability pm of all the subpopulations are determined from disjoint intervals; and an optimal initialization value fa is searched for by using a genetic operator. Afterwards, fa is used as a forward propagation calculation parameter and a weighting operation is performed on the feature address featuremap.
