Patent number: 11587651Abstract: Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing genomic services are provided. A request is received from a user. The request is applied to one or more from a group of a personalized data repository for the user and supporting knowledge bases, wherein the personalized data repository includes genetic test results, health/clinical information, and insurance coverage, and wherein the knowledge bases include information pertaining to genetic tests and clinical guidelines. Data from the applied request is integrated with results from service modules performing one or more from a group of content search, variation interpretation, and report generation to produce results for the request. The personalized data repository and supporting knowledge bases are updated based on the results of the request. Surveillance services are triggered based on one or more events.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: MERATIVE US L.P.Inventors: Pengwei Yang, Cheryl L.

Patent number: 11074262Abstract: Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for classifying documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents may be pre-processed to render document sections visible to machine readers. Document subsets may be generated based on user-defined terms. The machine readable documents may be classified within the content repository into one of a group of categories, based-upon the number of times classification terms appear in a specific document section of the document. Documents may be ranked based upon the frequency of classification terms in the specific section. Documents may be associated with specific diseases such as cancer, genes, gene variants, and drugs or synonyms thereof by comparing relevant search terms to specific sections of the documents.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cheryl Eifert, Joel C.

Automated document filtration with machine learning of annotations for document searching and access
Patent number: 11068490Abstract: Computer-based methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents within the content repository may be classified into one of a functional category and a clinical category. Documents are applied to a machine learning annotation and analysis module to automatically annotate the documents to indicate relationships between entities. A request is processed for the documents including one or more search terms, wherein the search terms pertain to one or more entities from a group of gene, gene variant, drug, cancer and a biomedical/clinical term. Documents satisfying the request are identified by comparing the one or more search terms to the annotations and specific sections of the documents, and determining a relevance of a document based on the comparison and a frequency of the one or more search terms in each of the specific sections. The identified documents are ranked according to custom techniques.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cheryl L.
