Abstract: A method comprises obtaining data characterizing a given subject over time, applying at least a portion of the obtained data to a generative adversarial network adapted to generate a prediction of at least one change in at least one of behavior and physiology of the given subject from the obtained data, and executing at least one automated remedial action relating to the given subject based at least in part on the generated prediction. The generative adversarial network is configured to implement multi-task learning, across a plurality of subjects, in which changes in multiple distinct features are treated as separate but linked tasks. The generative adversarial network comprises separate discriminators for each of the multiple distinct features and separate discriminators for each of a plurality of different clusters of respective subsets of the plurality of subjects, and combines outputs of respective ones of the discriminators for the features and the clusters in generating the prediction.

Abstract: An endoscopic sheath holding tip and stabilization system is configured to be connected to a table mounted flexible or rigid arm or other surgical support device used over the patient during a surgical procedure. The sheath holder includes a hook structure configured to engage the underside of the scope sheath (e.g., inflow and outflow ports), while a plunger mechanism engages the top surface of the sheath. The downward pressure of the plunger mechanism working against the upward forces of the hook structure operate to stabilize the scope sheath without requiring user intervention. In this manner, the scope and other instruments can be introduced into the stabilized scope sheath without requiring user assistance to hold the scope once positioned in the stabilized sheath.

Abstract: A method in an illustrative embodiment comprises obtaining data characterizing a given subject over time, applying at least a portion of the obtained data to an encoder-decoder neural network adapted to generate a prediction of at least one change in at least one of behavior and physiology of the given subject from the obtained data, and executing at least one automated remedial action relating to the given subject based at least in part on the generated prediction. The encoder-decoder neural network is configured to learn one or more subject-specific anomaly thresholds based at least in part on reconstruction error of the encoder-decoder neural network. The encoder-decoder neural network is illustratively implemented utilizing at least one of a fully-connected neural network autoencoder architecture and a gated recurrent unit sequence-to-sequence architecture. Other illustrative embodiments include systems and computer program products.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing security functions in a service-oriented computer system are provided. The method includes acts of receiving, from one or more entities, a service request for a service provided by one or more server computers adapted to process the service request; providing a copy of the service request to a processor adapted to analyze the copy of the service request; storing the service request in a memory; determining, by the processor, if the service request should be processed by performing one or more analyzes of the copy of the service request to determine if the service request would be harmful to the one or more server computers; and if it is determined that the service request should be processed by the one or more server computers, forwarding the service request to the one or more server computers.

Abstract: A bib and bottle holder is described that secures and orients a nursing bottle at a tilted position for a bottle nursing baby to relieve a person from having to hold the bottle while baby nurses the bottle.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of evaluating the expression levels of DNA parts encoding proteins in test circuits. In particular, the methods disclosed herein are useful to evaluate the expression of an output protein regulated by a regulatory protein-genetic element pair.
