  • Patent number: 12299564
    Abstract: With a trained, computerized discontinuation predictor machine learning component (MLC), predict, based on an input time series, a time when a subject will discontinue a course of medical treatment; with a trained, computerized pattern behavior extractor MLC, extract from said input time series the top k discriminatory sequences via discriminatory sub-sequence mining (said top k discriminatory sequences differentiate between first and second classes of interest to provide a hypothesis for downstream analysis of a cause of discontinuing said course of treatment). With a trained, causal effect estimator computerized MLC, determine a reason why said subject will discontinue said course of medical treatment, based on said top k discriminatory sequences and additional data; and with a computerized user interface, provide said time and said reason why to a responsible party to initiate an intervention.

  • Publication number: 20250022613
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for differentiating patterns of care (DPoC) to detect anomalous subsets in any given population with a defined set of outcomes and features. The computer-implemented method includes detecting the anomalous subsets, ranking the anomalous subsets based on a score of each anomalous subset that is reflective of an anomaly thereof, specifying whether each of the anomalous subsets overlaps with another one of the anomalous subsets, whether each of the anomalous subsets is unique and whether each of the anomalous subsets is conditional and specifying as to whether the detecting of each of the anomalous subsets has a higher or lower outcome than expected.

  • Publication number: 20240378517
    Abstract: Context-dependent memory stimulation is provided. A context-dependent task resumption memory cue personalized to a user is sent to a client device of the user via a network during a task interruption lag period corresponding to a primary task prior to the user starting a set of secondary tasks to support a context-dependent memory of the user associated with the primary task. It is determined that the user started and then stopped performing the set of secondary tasks based on monitoring the client device. The context-dependent task resumption memory cue personalized to the user is resent to the client device via the network during a task resumption lag period corresponding to the primary task to stimulate the context-dependent memory of the user associated with the primary task in response to the computer determining that the user stopped performing the set of secondary tasks and resumed the primary task.

  • Publication number: 20240333543
    Abstract: An embodiment associates a virtual-meeting host designation with a first user. During the virtual meeting, the embodiment generates meeting context data that includes user characteristic data and meeting characteristic data. The embodiment uses the meeting context data to generate a predicted end time for the virtual meeting and predicts a meeting run-over condition indicative of the virtual meeting continuing past a scheduled end time by comparing the predicted end time and a scheduled end time. Responsive to predicting the meeting run-over condition, the embodiment uses the user characteristic data to generate a ranked list of other users and renders, as a display to the first user, the ranked list and an indication of the meeting run-over condition. The embodiment receives a selection of a second user as a new host of the virtual meeting and, responsive to receiving the selection, associates the host designation with the second.

  • Patent number: 12062454
    Abstract: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted curation of non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) data from heterogeneous data sources. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise an extraction component and a change detection component. The extraction component can extract candidate non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) events from data associated with a defined disease. The change detection component can evaluate the candidate NPI events for inclusion in a dataset storing NPI events in a defined format.

  • Publication number: 20240203445
    Abstract: A method for regulating emotions in conversations is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes monitoring a conversation between participants. The method further divides the conversation into a plurality of utterances and calculates an emotion score for each utterance. The method further determines whether an emotion score of an utterance exceeds a threshold. In the event the emotion score exceeds the threshold, the method intervenes in the conversation in an attempt to return the conversation to a more constructive path. In certain embodiments, this intervention may include taking one or more actions that are specifically tailored to returning the conversation to a more constructive path. In other or the same embodiments, responses or reactions of the participants to the actions are audited to determine if the actions were successful in returning the conversation to a more constructive path. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240198848
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for predicting electric vehicle (EV) charging behavior of a driver. The method includes predicting when an EV needs to be charged, where the EV needs to be charged, and for how long the EV needs to be charged based on individualized characteristics of the driver or one or more passengers, weather conditions, and geospatial characteristics. The method further includes evaluating an availability of one or more EV charging stations located within a given radius of the EV and comparing a location of the one or more available EV charging stations, located within the given radius of the EV, to one or more desired locations of the driver of the EV. The method further includes determining an estimated waiting time at the one or more EV charging stations and scheduling an EV charging time at the one or more EV charging stations, based on the location and duration.

  • Patent number: 11769004
    Abstract: A computer system may create a language model corpus including multilingual alignment for training a combined language model and train (or pre-train) the combined language model. The computer system may create an adverse medication reaction corpus to include adverse medication reaction utterances and label an N-gram of an utterance in the adverse medication reaction utterances as a response to query, for multiple N-grams. The computer system may generate a code-mixed utterance model to perform code-mixed utterances in a turn by turn dialogue, by at least adding additional output layer including at least a start vector, language vector, and a query vector including at least the labeled N-gram, which are additional to the combined language model's predicted next words.
