  • Semantic matching
    Patent number: 8856181
    Abstract: In a method, system, and computer-readable medium having instructions for semantic matching, a configuration for one or more ontologies is determined with an ontology that has one or more concepts and a representation for the one or more concepts, and the configuration has an assignment of concepts to positions and one or more relationships between concepts in accordance with the representation. The configuration is optimized in accordance with one or more constraints, and a constraint has a relationship defined in a representation for an ontology and a judgment on a similarity of a plurality of concepts from the one or more ontologies, and an estimate is calculated for a similarity between a first concept and a second concept using the configuration.
    Type: Grant

  • Error models for location analysis data that robustly handles replicate data
    Publication number: 20080091397
    Abstract: A computer programmed to determine a standard error of a log ratio measurement of an immunoprecipitated sample and a whole cell extract at a particular feature is disclosed herein. A first quantity standing in known relation to the standard error of a signal intensity measurement corresponding to the immunoprecipitated sample at the particular feature is found. Also, a second quantity standing in known relation to the standard error of a signal intensity measurement corresponding to the whole cell extract at the particular feature is found. The standard error of the log ratio measurement of the immunoprecipitated sample and the whole cell extract sample is determined based upon said first and second quantities.
