Patents by Inventor Andrew David CLIFTON

Andrew David CLIFTON has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11663324
    Abstract: Concepts for acquiring information for identifying a security configuration for an application are proposed. In particular, the information is obtained by running the application in a development environment, detecting security requests made on behalf of the application, and then storing security information associated with the security requests in a security log. Using this concept, a security log may be obtained from which an appropriate security configuration may be determined.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210327579
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for classifying subjects based on time series phenotypic data are disclosed. In one arrangement, a data receiving unit receives a set of first subject-data-units, each first subject-data-unit in the set comprising time series data representing phenotypic information about a different respective one of a plurality of subjects to be classified. A data processing unit processes the set of first subject-data-units to reduce a dimensionality of each first subject-data-unit, thereby obtaining a corresponding set of second subject-data-units having lower dimensionality than the first subject-data-units. The set of second subject-data-units is processed to cluster the second subject-data-units into a plurality of clusters. Each of one or more of the subjects is classified by determining to which cluster a second subject-data-unit corresponding to the subject belongs.

  • Publication number: 20210117867
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for subtyping subjects based on phenotypic information are disclosed. In one arrangement, a data receiving unit receives a subject data unit for each of a plurality of subjects. Each subject data unit represents a plurality of different phenotypic information items about the subject. A data processing unit uses a deep learning algorithm to derive a lower dimensional representation of each subject data unit and a clustering algorithm to detect clusters of the resulting lower dimensional representations. The deep learning algorithm and clustering algorithm are implemented by a single mathematical model in which the derivation of the lower dimensional representations and the detection of the clusters are performed jointly.
