Patent number: 11954461Abstract: A system for autonomously delivering software features is disclosed. The system parses data obtained from a variety of sources, and extracts source concepts from the parsed data to generate models for inclusion in a set of agglomerated models. Over time, additional data from the variety of sources may be utilized to update the set of agglomerated models. The updated agglomerated models may be analyzed by the system to determine whether new features and/or functionality may be added to an application under evaluation by the system. In the event that new features and/or functionality may be added to the application under evaluation, the system may automatically generate code corresponding to the new features and/or functionality and incorporate that features and/or functionality into the application under evaluation.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: UKG Inc.Inventors: Keith A. Briggs, Brian R. Muras, Andrew Ferguson

Publication number: 20220348903Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for designing sequence-defined biomolecules, such as proteins using a data-driven, evolution-based process. To design proteins, an iterative method founded on a combination of an unsupervised sequence-based model with a supervised functionality-based model can select candidate amino acid sequences that are likely to have a desired functionality. Feedback from measuring the candidate proteins using a high-throughput gene-synthesis and a protein screening process is used to refine and improve the models guiding the candidate selection to the most promising regions of the very large amino acid sequence search space.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Rama Ranganathan, Andrew Ferguson
