  • Publication number: 20120197608
    Abstract: Models are generated using a variety of tools and features of a model generation platform. For example, in connection with a project in which a user generates a predictive model based on historical data about a system being modeled, the user is provided through a graphical user interface a structured sequence of model generation activities to be followed, the sequence including dimension reduction, model generation, model process validation, and model re-generation. In connection with a project in which a user generates a predictive model based on historical data about a system being modeled, the user is enabled to validate the model development process with cross-validation between at least two subsets of the historical data; the validated model development process is enabled to be reapplied.

Historical multi-dimensional data is received representing multiple source variables to be used as an input to a predictive model of a commercial system and applying transformations to the data that are selected based on the strength of measurement represented by a variable; variables are transformed into new more predictive variables, including the Bayesian renormalization of sparsely sampled variable and including the imputation of missing values for categorical or continuous variables.

  • Publication number: 20070174766
    Abstract: Technology for finding and acting on hidden data contained in documents generated by a user in productivity applications is disclosed. The technology uses a user configurable document release policy file and a document inspector which parses a document file based on the configuration policy and either presents options to the user to make changes, implements changes automatically, or both, based on the policy definition. A method implemented at least in part by a computing device includes loading a user defined document policy configuration including data types identified as hidden data. A document is then parsed for the defined hidden data and a policy defined action is executed on the hidden data in the document in accordance with the document policy configuration.

  • Publication number: 20060257872
    Abstract: Host nucleic acids and host proteins that participate in viral infection, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza A, and Ebola virus, have been identified. Interfering with or disrupting the interaction between a host nucleic acid or host protein and a virus or viral protein confers an inhibition of or resistance to infection. Thus, interfering with such an interaction in a host subject can confer a therapeutic or prophylactic effect against a virus. The sequences identified can be used to identify agents that reduce or inhibit viral infection.

  • Publication number: 20060206485
    Abstract: Row level security (RLS) and cell level security (CLS) are implemented in a database to provide secure dynamic access to database data. Encryption keys are created based on either security classification meta-data tags associated with the individual fields of an incoming data stream or on the security classification of the source network. Without prior knowledge of the incoming data security classification, the present system may generate encryption keys and, if necessary, security classification meta-data on the fly.
