Abstract: An example system includes a processor to receive a stream of records. The processor can generate an unbiased outlier score for each sample in the stream of records via a trained histogram-based outlier score model. The unbiased outlier score is unbiased for samples including dependent features using feature grouping. The processor can then detect an anomaly in response to detecting that an associated unbiased outlier score of the sample is higher than a predefined threshold.

Also described are proteins, referred to as anti-gp350 antibody probes, and anti-gp350 B-cell probes, that maintain the epitope structure of the CR2-binding region of gp350, but do not bind CR2.

Abstract: A method for generating a causal graph includes receiving a data set including observation data and intervention data corresponding to multiple variables. A probability distribution is determined for each variable based on the observation data. A likelihood of including each edge in the graph is computed based on the probability distribution and the intervention data. Each edge is a causal connection between variables of the multiple variables. The graph is generated based on the likelihood of including each edge. The graph may be updated by iteratively repeating the determination of the probability distribution and the computing of the likelihood of including each edge.

Abstract: A method includes calculating a first medial-axis tree graph of a volume of an organ of a patient in a first computerized anatomical map of the volume, acquired at a first time. A second medial-axis tree graph is calculated, of a volume of the organ of the patient in a second computerized anatomical map of the volume, acquired at a second time that is different from the first time. A deviation is detected and estimated, between the first and second tree-graphs. Using the estimated deviation, the first and second medial-axis tree graphs are registered with one another. Using the registered first and second tree graphs, the first and second computerized anatomical maps are combined.
