  • Patent number: 11915823
    Abstract: In some aspects, the described systems and methods provide for validating performance of a model trained on a plurality of annotated pathology images. A pathology image is accessed. Frames are generated using the pathology image. Each frame in the set includes a distinct portion of the pathology image. Reference annotations are received from one or more users. The reference annotations describe at least one of a plurality of tissue or cellular characteristic categories for one or more frames in the set. Each frame in the set is processed using the trained model to generate model predictions. The model predictions describe at least one of the tissue or cellular characteristic categories for the processed frame. Performance of the trained model is validated based on determining a degree of association between the reference annotations and the model predictions for each frame and/or across all frames in the set of frames.

  • Publication number: 20200258595
    Abstract: A method of electronically separating host and non-host sequence data (sequenced DNA, RNA, and/or proteins) utilizes electronic host filters, which can be generated on a just-in-time basis by a cloud-based software service. Host reads and non-host reads of a given sample are separated and stored in separate data repositories. Also disclosed is a cloud-based software service utilizing the method. The non-host reads resulting from the host filtration process can then be profiled more accurately for the microorganism content therein.

  • Publication number: 20200102599
    Abstract: A method is describe for predicting the viability and growth rate of at least one prokaryotic species of a non-cultured working sample (e.g., environmental, medical, food). The method utilizes a reference database containing time-dependent sequence data obtained from control samples of prokaryotic species at various stages of growth. The sequence coverages of the control samples are used to identify at least two regions of each genome active in replication. Importance scores and weight scores are assigned to these active regions. The sequence coverages over the active regions obtained for the working sample are used with the importance and weight scores to predict growth and viability of one or more prokaryotic species of the working sample.

  • Patent number: 10326354
    Abstract: An embodiment pertains to a method including determining if an amplitude of an error signal has entered steady state. If the amplitude of the error signal has not entered steady state, then amplify with a high gain the amplitude of the AC component of the error signal. If the amplitude of the error signal has entered steady state, then initiate a timer. Determining if the amplitude of the error signal has remained in steady state while the timer runs. If the amplitude of the error signal has remained in steady state while the timer runs, then amplify with a low gain the amplitude of the AC component of the error signal.

  • Patent number: 9788109
    Abstract: Architectures of numbers of microphones and their positioning in a device for sound source direction estimation and source separation are presented. The directions of sources are front, back, left, right, top, and bottom of the device, and can be determined by amplitude and phase differences of microphone signals with proper microphone positioning. The source separation is to separate the sound coming from different directions from the mix of sources in microphone signals. This can be done with blind source separation (BSS), independent component analysis (ICA), and beamforming (BF) technologies. The device can perform many kinds of audio enhancements for the device. For example, it can perform noise reduction for communications; it can choose a source from a desired direction to perform speech recognition; and it can correct sound perceiving directions in microphones and generate desired sound images like stereo audio output. In addition, with source separation, 2.1, 5.1, 7.
