Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for using multi-omics data and artificial intelligence to discover variables correlated with a product target in various domains. Particularly, aspects are directed to a computer implemented method that includes (i) identifying groups of biologically and statistically similar variables, and (ii) selecting, using various artificial intelligence techniques (e.g., machine learning models and rule based systems), groups of variables that are associated with the target feature while taking into account the groups of biologically and statistically similar variables identified in (i). The results of the various artificial intelligence techniques are then cross-referenced to refine and hierarchize a final set of variables associated with the feature of interest.

Abstract: It has been unexpectedly discovered that the addition of a natural or other pozzolan to non-spec coal ash significantly improves the properties of the non-spec coal ash to the extent it can be certified under ASTM C618 and AASHTO 295, as either a Class F or Class C coal ash. The natural pozzolan may be a volcanic ejecta, such as pumice or perlite. Other pozzolans may also be used for this beneficiation process. Many pozzolans are experimentally tested and may be used to beneficiate non-spec coal ash into certifiable Class F coal ash. Additionally, this disclosure provides a method of converting a Class C coal ash to a more valuable Class F coal ash. This discovery will extend diminishing Class F coal ash supplies and turn non-spec coal ash waste streams into valuable, certified coal ash pozzolan which will protect and enhance concrete, mortars and grouts.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to compare two or more machine learning models to determine the comparative performance of those models. Markers may be assigned to data items and data item marker scores generated for those data items, independent of the machine learning models. Each of the machine learning models to be compared may then process the data items and generate respective model scores for those data items. A sub-set of the data items may then be generated for each machine learning model based on the model scores assigned to the data items by the respective model. A model marker score may then be computed for each machine learning model based on the marker scores assigned to each of the data items of the sub-set of data items determined for each model. Finally, the model marker scores may be compared to determine which machine learning model has the highest performance.
