  • Publication number: 20200152291
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for automated sequence determination using pattern-directed aligned pattern clustering. The method includes: determining a set of seed patterns; generating an address table mapping the determined sets of seed patterns to occurrences of sequences of seed patterns in the protein nucleotide sequence; determining a breakpoint gap between two respective seed patterns in an occurrence of one of the sequences in the address table; for each sequence of seed patterns in the address table, where there is a breakpoint gap, merging the respective seed patterns in the sequence surrounding the breakpoint gap with the breakpoint gap into an extended seed pattern, otherwise merging the respective seed patterns in the sequence into an extended seed pattern; and determining rare mutant patterns from the extended seed patterns by comparing extended seed patterns.

  • Patent number: 10462079
    Abstract: Systems and techniques that provide context-aware badge display in online communities are disclosed. Badges are identified for display based on the contexts of the online interfaces in which the badges will be displayed. When the badges awarded to a user are to be displayed in a particular online interface, the online community of that online interface is identified and used to display appropriate badges. Badges awarded to the user in the particular online community of the online interface and one or more related online communities are displayed. The related communities are identified based on a hierarchy of communities that identifies relationships between the online communities. Badges can be displayed using different display rules that can be changed over time and vary for different online communities.

  • Patent number: 10389679
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described to determine levels of competency of users as part of an online community and control generation of subsequent digital content to be used interaction of the online community with the users based on this determination. In one example, determination of the level of competency is based on relevance to topics of the online community. In another example, a determination is made as to whether the topic of the online community is stable before using user competency scores to control generation of subsequent digital content. In a further example, users of the online community are identified as exhibiting dormant or non-dormant behavior and used as a basis to control generation of subsequent digital content. In yet another example, user competency scores are adjusted based on a decay factor to address dormancy of users over a period of time.
