  • Patent number: 11893511
    Abstract: Examples of the disclosure are directed toward generating a causation score with respect to an agent and an outcome, and projecting a future causation score distribution. For example, a causation score may be determined with respect to a hypothesis that a given agent causes a given outcome, and the score may indicate the acceptance of that hypothesis in the scientific community, as described by scientific literature. A future causation score distribution, then, may indicate a probability distribution over possible future causation scores, thereby predicting the scientific acceptance of the hypothesis at some specific date in the future. A future causation score distribution can be projected by first generating one or more future publication datasets, and then determining causation scores for each of the one or more future publication datasets.

  • Publication number: 20210279421
    Abstract: Examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods of using natural language processing techniques to automatically assign metadata to articles as they are published. The automatically-assigned metadata can then feed into the algorithms that calculate updated causation scores for agent-outcome hypotheses, powering live visualizations of the data that update automatically as new scientific articles become available.

  • Patent number: 10387818
    Abstract: Examples of the disclosure are directed to generating visualizations that illustrate various measures of risk associated with a litagion® agent in the context of entire industries or specific to a single party that produces or uses the litagion® agent. A Quindrex™ visualization can illustrate catastrophic risk presented by a risk agent, such as a litagion® agent. For example, the risk agent may be a chemical such as bisphenol A (BPA) or benzene. The visualization can include a plurality of portions, each corresponding to a metric of catastrophic risk associated with the risk agent visualized. A dartboard visualization can illustrate catastrophic risk presented by risk agents produced or used by a party, such as a company. The visualization can include a plurality of portions, such as wedges in a dartboard, each corresponding to a risk agent produced or used by the party.
