  • Publication number: 20230177363
    Abstract: A processor obtains a pair including a question and an answer in natural language; determines at least one entity in the question and an entity type of each of the at least one entity consistent with the schema of a knowledge graph (KG); identifies a subset of candidate query templates based on the entity type of each of the at least one entity, wherein the candidate query templates are generated based on the schema of the KG; composes a set of queries by populating the at least one entity into each of the subset of candidate query templates; executes the set of queries on the KG to generate respective answers; identifies a first answer from the respective answers that is matching with the answer in the pair; and determines a candidate query template, from the subset of candidate query templates, corresponding to the first answer as a query template.

  • Publication number: 20220026409
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and a system for predicting disinfection by-products in drinking water. The method includes: acquiring water age prediction data of the drinking water to be predicted and water quality data of the drinking water to be predicted; inputting the water age prediction data and the water quality data into an adaptive genetic BP neural network model for predicting the disinfection by-products in the drinking water to obtain prediction values of the disinfection by-products in the drinking water. The disinfection by-products in a water supply pipe network can be predicted efficiently and economically by using the method and the system for predicting the disinfection by-products in the drinking water provided by the disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20090247475
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for determining the presence or absence of polymorphisms within an ABCC2, UGT1A1, and/or SLCO1B1 gene and correlating these polymorphisms with activity levels of their gene products and making evaluations regarding the effect on their substrates, particularly those substrates that are drugs. In addition, there are methods and compositions of evaluating the risk of an individual for developing toxicity or adverse event(s) to an ABCC2, UGT1A1, and/or SLCO1B1 substrate. In some embodiments, the invention concerns methods and compositions for determining the presence or absence of ABCC2 3972C>T variant and predicting or anticipating the level of activity of ABCC2 and determining dosages of an ABCC2 drug substrate, such as irinotecan, in a patient.

  • Publication number: 20070275386
    Abstract: The present invention concerns polymorphisms in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), gene. In some embodiments, the present invention is directed at compositions and methods involving single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter of the EGFR gene that affect EGFR expression. The identification of polymorphisms associated with EGFR expression or activity enables novel methods and compositions for evaluating the potential efficacy and toxicity of an EGFR-targeting therapeutic agent, predicting a patient's clinical prognosis, and evaluating a patient's risk of developing a disease that is associated with EGFR dysregulation.
