Abstract: Systems and methods for phenotyping clinical data are provided. The method includes obtaining episodic records comprising unstructured clinical data from an electronic medical record (EMR) or electronic health record (EHR) for patients. The method also includes filtering the episodic records by language pattern recognition to identify episodic records that each includes an expression related to a clinical condition. The method also includes splitting each episodic record to obtain snippets comprising tokens. The method also includes predicting if an episodic record represents an instance of the clinical condition using a trained classifier. The trained classifier includes an aggregation function that aggregates the snippets to output a corresponding representation for the episodic record, and an interpretation function that interprets the corresponding representation to output a corresponding prediction for whether the episodic record represents an instance of the clinical condition.

Abstract: Some structures and methods to reduce power consumption in devices can be implemented largely by reusing existing bulk CMOS process flows and manufacturing technology, allowing the semiconductor industry as well as the broader electronics industry to avoid a costly and risky switch to alternative technologies. Some of the structures and methods relate to a Deeply Depleted Channel (DDC) design, allowing CMOS based devices to have a reduced ?VT compared to conventional bulk CMOS and can allow the threshold voltage VT of FETs having dopants in the channel region to be set much more precisely. The DDC design also can have a strong body effect compared to conventional bulk CMOS transistors, which can allow for significant dynamic control of power consumption in DDC transistors. Additional structures, configurations, and methods presented herein can be used alone or in conjunction with the DDC to yield additional and different benefits.
