Abstract: This disclosure relates more particularly to risk assessment of preterm delivery (PTD) in the subject and designing a personalized recommendation for the same. Conventional techniques for PTD risk assessment are either invasive or minimally invasive and leaves little time for subjects to take precautionary or corrective medical advice or procedures to reduce or obviate the risk. The present disclosure provides the risk assessment of the PTD, by quantifying a microbial abundance in oral or gut microbiome for a pregnant woman, identifying a certain combination of microbial biomarkers using an ensemble of models for accurate risk assessment of the PTD and subsequently suggesting a personalized recommendation for at risk subject. The present assessment technique is completely non-invasive and further helps in characterizing the risk of the PTD.

Abstract: Augmented Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models (“DDIMs”) using a latent trajectory optimization process can be used for image generation and manipulation using text input and one or more source images to create an output image. Noise bias and textual bias inherent in the model representing the image and text input is corrected by correcting trajectories previously determined by the model at each step of a diffusion inversion process by iterating multiple starts the trajectories to find determine augmented trajectories that minimizes loss at each step. The trajectories can be used to determine an augmented noise vector, enabling use of an augmented DDIM and resulting in more accurate, stable, and responsive text-based image manipulation.
