  • Patent number: 12293832
    Abstract: Risk prediction models are trained and deployed to analyze images, such as computed tomography scans, for predicting risk of lung cancer (e.g., current or future risk of lung cancer) for one or more subjects. Individual risk prediction models are trained on nodule-specific and non-nodule specific features, including longitudinal nodule specific and longitudinal non-nodule specific features, such that each risk prediction model can predict risk of lung cancer across different time horizons. Such risk prediction models are useful for developing preventive therapies for lung cancer by enabling clinical trial enrichment.

  • Publication number: 20250111167
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the technology described herein dynamically determine at least one target LM skill to use to generate an output for an initial prompt without the need for the target LM skill to be included in the original prompt. Embodiments of the technology described herein perform this determination via an intermediate LM skill layer that implements an orchestration loop in a computationally efficient manner that reduces effects of hallucination by identifying one or more target LM skills based on each task identified in the initial prompt. Embodiments of the intermediate LM skill layer are separate from the user device and the LLM. For example, the intermediate LM skill layer is positioned between an LLM abstraction layer and an application layer by which a user can interface with the intermediate LM skill layer.

  • Publication number: 20240202917
    Abstract: Risk prediction models are trained and deployed to analyze images, such as computed tomography scans, for predicting future risk of lung cancer for one or more subjects. Individual risk prediction models are separately trained on nodule-specific and non-nodule specific features such that each risk prediction model can predict future risk of lung cancer across different time periods (e.g., 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years). Such risk prediction models are useful for developing preventive therapies for lung cancer by enabling clinical trial enrichment.

  • Publication number: 20240005502
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for determining a subject level risk of metastatic cancer involving the training and/or deployment of models to determine 1) a lymph node level risk of individual lymph node involvement and/or 2) a subject level risk of lymph node involvement. Thus, the methods can identify patients who are high or low risk for having nodal disease and optionally enable the guided intervention of cancer patients, for example, via treatment.
