Patent number: 11721441Abstract: Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for intelligently accessing various types of pharmaceutical information in a content repository and ranking drugs at the variant level, gene level, and pathway level. In some cases, drugs that target the same gene, gene variant, or biological pathway may be ranked based upon in vitro, pre-clinical, clinical, or post-clinical evidence. To determine ranking of a plurality of drugs, information pertaining to drug administration is analyzed for the drugs. For a plurality of drugs, attributes corresponding to the drug are determined, wherein the attributes include a variant or a gene targeted by the drug, and a biological pathway comprising the targeted variant or gene. The plurality of drugs are ranked according to a drug effectiveness score based on one or more of a determined efficacy, potency, or toxicity.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: MERATIVE US L.P.Inventors: Cheryl L.

Publication number: 20220165414Abstract: A mechanism is provided for automated curation of genetic variants using machine learning and natural language processing on multitude sources. A functional study publication in a corpus of information is identified using a supervised classifier. Focal entity detection in the functional study publication is performed by detecting one or more genetic variant mentions in corresponding text using a regular expression based dictionary. Focal genetic variants are identified based on the focal entity detection and based on weighted scores from one or more sections of the corresponding text. For a given identified focal genetic variant, the functional study publication is classified. Sentences in the classified functional study expressing a relation between the given genetic variant and other entities are identified using a relation extraction model. The classified functional study is summarized and facts and relations expressed in the classified functional study are presented.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2020Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventors: Elinor Dehan, Bhuvan Sharma, Claudia S.
