  • Patent number: 11977017
    Abstract: Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media are provided for intelligently sorting cells using machine learning. A biological cell analysis sorting machine, wherein the biological cell analysis sorting machine comprises a flow cytometry system and a cell analytics sorting system, may be configured to detect configuration issues by analyzing results of a sorting experiment performed by the biological cell analysis sorting machine. An analysis of a history of prior sorting experiments and associated configuration settings may be performed and a corpus of documents pertaining to the sorting experiment based on the detected configuration issues may be analyzed. Updated configuration settings for the biological cell analysis sorting machine based on the performed analysis may be determined, and the biological cell analysis sorting machine may be configured with the updated configuration settings to conduct a desired sorting experiment.

  • Patent number: 11074262
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11068490
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10977292
    Abstract: A computer system processes documents in a content repository. Each document of a plurality of documents is classified into one of a functional category and a clinical category. Each document is annotated using one or more corpora to generate document annotations. Documents satisfying one or more query terms are identified by comparing each query term to the document annotations. The identified documents are ranked based on a determined relevance. Guidelines are produced based on the ranking of the identified documents. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing documents in a content repository in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Publication number: 20200152326
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media are provided for processing microscopic images of a biological sample from a patient. One or more images of a blood sample from a microscope is obtained, each image comprising a plurality of different types of cells. The one or more images are processed by a machine learning system to classify individual cells into one of a plurality of cell categories. The cells in each cell category are analyzed to determine characteristics of the respective cell category. A diagnosis or list of possible diagnosis are determined based on the classification and characteristics of the cells for the patient in an automated manner.

  • Publication number: 20200005893
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, methods, systems and computer readable media are provided for extracting related medical information from various sources to produce a medical evaluation. Genomic information provided from a patient tumor sample is analyzed to determine the presence of one or more mutations in the tumor sample. Hierarchical matching is performed to match the one or more mutations from the patient sample to curated structured data derived from literature. One or more of a prognosis, diagnosis, or predisposition is evaluated based on the matching, wherein the one or more mutations is predictive of a prognosis for a type of tumor, and is a diagnostic marker of a type of tumor. When a pathogenic mutation is detected for a predisposition, a report is generated regarding whether the pathogenic mutation is associated with hereditary cancer.
