  • Publication number: 20210365771
    Abstract: Improved quantification, detection, and characterizing of out-of-distribution (OOD) of a set of inputs that are generated by an alternative process such as anomalies, outliers, adversarial attacks, input errors can be provided with a combination of detection under perturbations and subset scanning algorithms. A first set of activations is extracted from nodes in a hidden layer of a neural network for an input. Noise is added to the input. A second set of activations is extracted from nodes in the hidden layer of a neural network for the noised input. A difference between the first set of activations and the second set of activations is determined. The difference is compared with a difference computed using in-distribution samples. Based on the comparison, an anomaly score for the input is determined. Multiple inputs can be processed. An iterative ascent algorithm finds out-of-distribution input and internal nodes with anomalous activations.

  • Publication number: 20210264929
    Abstract: In an aspect, during a presentation of a presentation material, viewers of the presentation material can be monitored. Based on the monitoring, new content can be determined for insertion into the presentation material. The new content can be automatically inserted to the presentation material in real time. In another aspect, during the presentation, a presenter of the presentation material can be monitored. The presenter's speech can be intercepted and analyzed to detect a level of confidence. Based on the detected level of confidence, the presenter's speech can be adjusted and the adjusted speech can be played back automatically, for example, in lieu of the presenter's original speech that is intercepted.

  • Publication number: 20210232931
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment includes a method for detecting whether a given item within input data is anomalous. The method includes: extracting activations at respective nodes of an autoencoder trained on the data, the activations comprising activations at the respective nodes for the given item within the data and for one or more other items within the data; calculating p-values corresponding to the respective nodes, wherein the p-value for a given node represents a proportion of the activations at the given node for the other items which are greater than the activations at the given node for the given item; determining at least one score at least in part by scanning for a subset of the respective nodes which maximizes a statistical scoring function applied to the corresponding p-values; and providing a visualization of at least the given item within the input data to a human user.

  • Publication number: 20210205276
    Abstract: PI3K signalling is the most increased pathway in human cancers. The four isoforms of PI3K are thought to be activated by different redundant mechanisms leading to a common downstream signalling. The inventors questioned this concept, by mapping differential isoform-specific downstream signalling in response to their constant selective inhibition in pancreatic cancer, a disease currently without therapy. They identified common and specific signals activated by each PI3K isoform. These data make the rational for the development of highly selective PI3K isoform drugs used in combination, instead of compounds inhibiting all PI3Ks. In particular, the inventors showed that combined p110a and 110? inhibition is the most efficient strategy for pancreatic cancer patients.

  • Publication number: 20210209299
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210012864
    Abstract: An apparatus obtains participant sentiment data including at least one of: a text conversation between a participant and an investigator in a clinical trial; a video conversation between the participant and the investigator; and the participant's social network information; extracts and normalizes a sentiment score from the participant sentiment data; generates a compliance score for the participant by using a trained regressor on at least the sentiment score; compares the compliance score to a lower threshold and to a higher threshold; selects an action from a decision tree in response to the compliance score; and facilitates the action.

  • Publication number: 20200355693
    Abstract: PI3K signalling is the most increased pathway in human cancers. The four isoforms of PI3K are thought to be activated by different redundant mechanisms leading to a common downstream signalling. However, the mutational pattern of PI3K pathway or its level of expression is not sufficient to predict the sensitivity to PI3K inhibitors. By identifying for the first time a phosphopeptide that predict the sensitivity to p110? and/or p110? inhibitors, the inventors provide insight in how to handle heterogeneity of PI3K expression patterns in tumoral samples for the choice of available PI3K-targetting drugs. Accordingly, the present relates to a phosphopeptide characterized by the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 (PGTPSDHQSQEASQFER) wherein the threonine residue at position 3 is phosphorylated.
