Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for using a multimodal response in the dynamic generation of client device output that is tailored to a current modality of a client device is disclosed herein. Multimodal client devices can engage in a variety of interactions across the multimodal spectrum including voice only interactions, voice forward interactions, multimodal interactions, visual forward interactions, visual only interactions etc. A multimodal response can include a core message to be rendered for all interaction types as well as one or more modality dependent components to provide a user with additional information.

Abstract: The present invention provides algorithm-based molecular assays that involve measurement of expression levels of genes from a biological sample obtained from a kidney cancer patient. The present invention also provides methods of obtaining a quantitative score for a patient with kidney cancer based on measurement of expression levels of genes from a biological sample obtained from a kidney cancer patient. The genes may be grouped into functional gene subsets for calculating the quantitative score and the gene subsets may be weighted according to their contribution to cancer recurrence.
