  • Patent number: 12631641
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for identifying a subject as having NSCLC that is predicted or is likely to respond to treatment with an ALK inhibitor, for example crizotinib. The methods include identifying a sample including NSCLC tumor cells as ALK-positive or ALK-negative using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and scoring methods disclosed herein. A subject is identified as having NSCLC likely to respond to treatment with an ALK inhibitor if the sample is identified as ALK-positive and is identified as having NSCLC not likely to respond to treatment with an ALK inhibitor if the sample is identified as ALK-negative. According to certain embodiments of the methods, subjects predicted to respond to an ALK inhibitor may then be treated with an ALK inhibitor such as crizotinib.

  • Publication number: 20260105078
    Abstract: A system can obtain a first prompt as output from inputting an alert about a computer system to a first retrieval-augmented generation system (RAG). The system can obtain a first answer as output from inputting the first prompt to a first large language model (LLM). The system can obtain a value maintained by an entity associated with the computing system as output from inputting the alert to a second RAG. The system can obtain a second answer as output from inputting the first answer, the value, and a second prompt to a second LLM, wherein the second LLM comprises the first LLM or another LLM different from the first LLM. The system can obtain a third answer as output from inputting the second answer, user information associated with the entity, and a third prompt to a third LLM. The system can make the third answer available to the entity.

  • Patent number: 12592871
    Abstract: Service request generation using generative artificial intelligence is disclosed. For instance, a user query comprising character strings is received; the character strings are converted to initial vector values associated with a first continuous vector space. Groups of data representing knowledge base articles that are identified. The knowledge base articles are retrieved from first database equipment. The text content of the knowledge base articles is converted to further vector values associated with a second continuous vector space. A listing of support agent identities is determined based on the further vector values being proximate to additional vector values associated with the listing of support agent identities. The additional vector values are used to retrieve the listing of support agent identities from second database equipment and generate and transmit a service ticket to resolve the user query.

  • Patent number: 12579642
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for detecting and describing heterogeneity in a cell sample are disclosed herein. A plurality of fields of view (FOV) are generated for one or more areas of interest (AOI) within an image of the cell sample are generated. Hyperspectral or multispectral data from each FOV is organized into an image stack containing one or more z-layers, with each z-layer containing intensity data for a single marker at each pixel in the FOV. A cluster analysis is applied to the image stacks, wherein the clustering algorithm groups pixels having a similar ratio of detectable marker intensity across layers of the z-axis, thereby generating a plurality of clusters having similar expression patterns.

  • Publication number: 20260017168
    Abstract: Architectures and techniques are described that can encode temporal context into a prompt and/or a soft prompt associated with a natural language artificial intelligence (AI) model such as a large language model (LLM). For example, a group of alert messages generated by a rules-based engine can be received. Based on timestamp data associated with the alert messages temporal context can be retrieved from telemetry store or another store with time series data and/or temporal context data. The temporal context can be encoded into an embedding layer of the AI model that is configured to receive input according to a text modality rather than a temporal modality.

  • Patent number: 12498302
    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems, computer-implemented methods, and clinical workflows for meso-dissection of biological specimens and tissue slides by incorporating annotation and inter-marker registration modules within digital pathology imaging and meso-dissection (or milling) systems. Images of a reference slide a milling slide may be acquired using the same imaging system, with the annotations on the image associated with the milling slide being based on the inter-marker registration. Each image along with its respective annotations and meta-data may be associated with a project or a case and stored in an image management system. A same-marker registration may be used to map annotations from the annotated image of the milling slide to a live image of the milling slide. The milling slide may be milled based on the annotations, with milled tissue output into a contained that is labeled in association with the labeled input slides.

  • Publication number: 20250363372
    Abstract: A system can receive user input data that comprises an identification of a computer infrastructure component of a group of computer infrastructure components that are associated with a user account. The system can identify information about the group of computer infrastructure components based on the identification of the computer infrastructure component. The system can convert text of the user input data into a first numerical vector. The system can create a context of the user input data based on identifying a match between the first numerical vector and a second numerical vector of a group of numerical vectors, wherein the context corresponds to a natural-language version of the second numerical vector. The system can combine the context and the information about the group of computer infrastructure components into a combined context, and input the combined context and the user input data to a large language model to produce a result.

    Abstract: A method for assisted context generation for enhanced accuracy in document inferencing includes designating, by a device including a processor and in response to an input prompt, a selected context information source from a group of context information sources using a first machine learning model. The selected context information source is designated based on relevance of the selected context information source to the input prompt. The method further includes constructing, by the device and using a second machine learning model that is not the first machine learning model, a human-readable response to the input prompt by applying parameters of the second machine learning model to the input prompt and the selected context information source.

  • Publication number: 20250054144
    Abstract: Immune context scores are calculated for tumor tissue samples using continuous scoring functions. Feature metrics for at least one immune cell marker are calculated for a region or regions of interest, the feature metrics including at least a quantitative measure of human CD3 or total lymphocyte counts. A continuous scoring function is then applied to a feature vector including the feature metric and at least one additional metric related to an immunological biomarker, the output of which is an immune context score. The immune context score may then be plotted as a function of a diagnostic or treatment metric, such as a prognostic metric (e.g. overall survival, disease-specific survival, progression-free survival) or a predictive metric (e.g. likelihood of response to a particular treatment course). The immune context score may then be incorporated into diagnostic and/or treatment decisions.

  • Publication number: 20240403673
    Abstract: The technology described herein describes training an automatic semi-supervised labeler model, such as including a time series transformer with self-attention encoder, in conjunction with classifier training to produce more precise labels describing when anomalous, rare events occurred. The automatic labeler assigns a probability distribution parameterized by distribution parameters over a sample window. A classifier outputs an approximation of distribution parameters for an imprecise label (secondary event) correlated with the anomalous event. The approximation distribution along with the secondary event distribution are input into a loss function, which couples the automatic labeler to the classifier in a feedback loop. The loss function is optimized over iterations of the loop, with the loss minimized when the automatic labeler outputs the correct label. Once trained, additional labels can be automatically generated for further training.
