  • Patent number: 9495330
    Abstract: A method providing an analytical technique introducing label information into an anomaly detection model. Effective utilization of label information is based on introducing the degree of similarity between samples. Assuming, for example, there is a degree of similarity between normally labeled samples and no similarity between normally labeled and abnormally labeled samples. Also each sensor value is generated by the linear sum of a latent variable and a coefficient vector specific to each sensor. However, the magnitude of observation noise is formulated to vary according to the label information for the sensor values, and set so that normal label?unlabeled?anomalously labeled. A graph Laplacian is created based on the degree of similarity between samples, and determines the optimal linear transformation matrix according to a gradient method. A optimal linear transformation matrix is used to calculate an anomaly score for each sensor in the test samples.

  • Publication number: 20160258747
    Abstract: A method providing an analytical technique introducing label information into an anomaly detection model. The method includes the steps of: inputting measurement data having an anomalous or normal label and measurement data having no label as samples; determining a similarity matrix indicating the relationship between the samples based on the samples; defining a penalty based on the similarity matrix and calculating parameters in accordance with an updating equation having a term reducing the penalty; and calculating a degree of anomaly based on the calculated parameters. The present invention also provides a program and system for detecting an anomaly based on measurement data.

  • Patent number: 7531635
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel nucleic acid and protein sequences that are essential to fertility. In particular, human Mater cDNA and protein sequences are provided. Functional MATER is required for female fertility; zygotes that arise from Mater null oocytes do not progress beyond the two-cell stage. MATER-protein specific binding agents, such as antibodies, are described. Methods are described for detecting MATER protein in a subject, including methods for determining whether a subject has a biological condition associated with abnormal Mater expression. Also provided are kits for detecting MATER protein in a subject.

  • Patent number: 7432067
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel nucleic acid and protein sequences that are essential to fertility. In particular, human Mater cDNA and protein sequences are provided. Functional MATER is required for female fertility; zygotes that arise from Mater null oocytes do not progress beyond the two-cell stage. Methods are described for detecting an autoimmune response to MATER in a subject by detecting autoantibodies that recognize an epitope of a MATER protein. Also provided are methods for diagnosis of infertility or reduced fertility by detecting presence of MATER protein autoantibodies in a subject. The disclosure also describes kits for detecting MATER autoantibodies comprising MATER protein.
