  • Patent number: 11587647
    Abstract: Techniques for candidate evaluation and filtering are provided. Enrollment criteria for a clinical trial are received, where the enrollment criteria include a plurality of conditions. A plurality of cost vectors is constructed for the plurality of conditions. A set of values for one or more of the plurality of conditions is determined for a candidate, where the set of values does not include a value for at least a first condition of the plurality of conditions. A utilized cost is generated for the candidate, based on the first set of values and the plurality of cost vectors. The candidate is then ranked based on the utilized cost.

  • Patent number: 11281721
    Abstract: Techniques for augmenting relational databases with graph database capabilities are described. A graph database query requesting data from a graph database is received. The graph database includes a plurality of vertices and a plurality of edges. The graph database query is translated into a relational database query using one or more computer processors. The relational database query references a vertex table and an edge table in a relational database. Result data corresponding with the graph database query is retrieved from the relational database by executing the relational database query against the relational database.

  • Patent number: 11263223
    Abstract: Methods and systems for using machine learning to determine electronic document similarity include extracting entities and corresponding relationships from each of two electronic documents of a corpus of electronic documents based on word embedding, computing an entity distance between the extracted entities and a relationship distance between the extracted relationships based on knowledge graph embedding, combining the entity and relationship distances to generate a similarity score between the electronic documents, and implementing the similarity score to perform a task associated with the electronic documents.

  • Patent number: 11238989
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate predicting personalized risks based on intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises: collecting, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors associated with infectious diseases; generating, by the system, a probabilistic model based on the intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors, wherein the model incorporates node characteristics into infection probability; and refining, by the system, the model through concurrently learning respective node thresholds and hidden infection network structure of the model.

  • Patent number: 11120014
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product are provided for enhanced search strategies. The method includes selecting, by a processor device, known candidate sources related to a search topic. The method also includes ranking, by the processor device, keyphrase candidates from the known candidate sources according to inter-topic weighting. The method additionally includes assembling, by the processor device, a search string of a predetermined number of top ranked keyphrase candidates. The method further includes generating, by the processor device, new candidate sources from a candidate source repository responsive to the search string. The method also includes defining, by the processor device, a candidate source pool by the known candidate sources and the new candidate sources to reduce user search times on computer interface devices.

  • Patent number: 11045255
    Abstract: Patient treatment may be optimized using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based state simulation and Reinforcement learning (RL) techniques to simulate future states and actions. A RNN state simulator and a RL action generator may be trained using patient data such as historical states and actions. The RL action generator may be optimized by applying the RNN state simulator to simulating future states and applying the RL action generator to generate recommended actions based on the simulated future states. This process may be iteratively performed until a computational convergence is reached by the RL action generator which may indicate that the RL action generator has been optimized. A patient state may be fed into the optimized RL action generator to generate an optimal recommended treatment action.
