Abstract: Systems and methods for generating best next communication policies, for a time step of an exchange of electronic documents, fit over historical exchanges, optimizing to maximize a probability of achieving a quantified objective leveraging weighted sampling. In a preferred embodiment an electronic document is segmented whereby each constituent segment is deconstructed as a composition of custom expression varieties, pre-defined to enable fulfilment of an objective within a theme of correspondence, associating each expression with a semantic vector. A set of expression extraction models is trained independently and then a second set with knowledge of parallel label predictions, iterating to convergence. The expression compositions and associated semantic vectors are combined into a single vector for each segment. The segment vectors are appended onto profile vectors for the exchange parties, yielding a time series of profile-content vectors.

Abstract: The present invention allows clinical trial organizers to operate a platform for creating trial specific custom mobile applications at a price point that would not be possible if the application were created by programmers on a trial-by-trial basis. The invention shortens build time by creating a hierarchy of questions that changes the next question posed to the user based upon their answer to a previous question thereby reducing the number of questions the user must answer while providing the application creation platform with the detailed information relevant to a specific clinical trial. The platform uses a simulation builder that provides a test version of the application to the user mobile device during the application creation process thereby allowing the user to see the layout of the application as they progress through the building process. While building the application, the user can create a simulated version of the application in real time deliver the same to the mobile device of the user.
