  • Patent number: 10936626
    Abstract: Databases and data processing systems for use with a network-based personal genetics services platform may include member information pertaining to a plurality of members of the network-based personal genetics services platform. The member information may include genetic information, family history information, environmental information, and phenotype information of the plurality of members. A data processing system may determine, based at least in part on the member information, a model for predicting a phenotype from genetic information, family history information, and environmental information, wherein determining the model includes training the model using the member information pertaining to a set of the plurality of members.

  • Publication number: 20180225583
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include identifying a current user state, associating a first action and a second action with the current user state, associating a first value and a first probability with a first new user state based on a possible performing of the first action in the current user state, associating a second value and a second probability with a second new user state based on a possible performing of the second action in the current user state, calculating a first overall value for the first action based on the first value and the first probability, calculating a second overall value for the second action based on the second value and the second probability, and providing the first action to the computing device based on determining that the first overall value is greater than the second overall value.
