Publication number: 20250022613Abstract: A computer-implemented method for differentiating patterns of care (DPoC) to detect anomalous subsets in any given population with a defined set of outcomes and features. The computer-implemented method includes detecting the anomalous subsets, ranking the anomalous subsets based on a score of each anomalous subset that is reflective of an anomaly thereof, specifying whether each of the anomalous subsets overlaps with another one of the anomalous subsets, whether each of the anomalous subsets is unique and whether each of the anomalous subsets is conditional and specifying as to whether the detecting of each of the anomalous subsets has a higher or lower outcome than expected.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2023Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: George Sirbu, William Ogallo, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Feng Xin, Ajay Ashok Deshpande, Charles Muchiri Wachira, Aisha Walcott, Vibha Anand, Brandi Hodor, Zainab Savliwala, Isaiah Mulang' Onando

Publication number: 20240428127Abstract: A training process a predictive model uses a dataset of features and an outcome. The method generates a table for a dataset comprising multiple features, the table contains values for each pair of features in the dataset, randomly selects features from the dataset, thereby creating a first subset of features, operates a propensity score matching using the randomly selected features to identify cases and controls using the outcome variable, rewards one or more features of a second subset of features in the multiple features that were not selected randomly, each feature of the second subset addresses a statistical significance criteria, updating each entry in the table with a reward distance between each pair of features, calculates a cumulative reward measure, iterating the steps until convergence, selects a final subset of features when a variability criteria of the cumulative reward measure addresses convergence criteria, and trains the predictive model.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Uri Kartoun, William Ogallo, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Catherine Wanjiru, Kenney Ng, VIBHA Anand

Publication number: 20240378517Abstract: Context-dependent memory stimulation is provided. A context-dependent task resumption memory cue personalized to a user is sent to a client device of the user via a network during a task interruption lag period corresponding to a primary task prior to the user starting a set of secondary tasks to support a context-dependent memory of the user associated with the primary task. It is determined that the user started and then stopped performing the set of secondary tasks based on monitoring the client device. The context-dependent task resumption memory cue personalized to the user is resent to the client device via the network during a task resumption lag period corresponding to the primary task to stimulate the context-dependent memory of the user associated with the primary task in response to the computer determining that the user stopped performing the set of secondary tasks and resumed the primary task.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2023Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Julian Bertram Kuehnert, William Ogallo, Nelson Kibichii Bore, Charles Muchiri Wachira, Isaiah Mulang' Onando, Sekou Lionel Remy, Aisha Walcott

Publication number: 20240333543Abstract: An embodiment associates a virtual-meeting host designation with a first user. During the virtual meeting, the embodiment generates meeting context data that includes user characteristic data and meeting characteristic data. The embodiment uses the meeting context data to generate a predicted end time for the virtual meeting and predicts a meeting run-over condition indicative of the virtual meeting continuing past a scheduled end time by comparing the predicted end time and a scheduled end time. Responsive to predicting the meeting run-over condition, the embodiment uses the user characteristic data to generate a ranked list of other users and renders, as a display to the first user, the ranked list and an indication of the meeting run-over condition. The embodiment receives a selection of a second user as a new host of the virtual meeting and, responsive to receiving the selection, associates the host designation with the second.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William Ogallo, Julian Bertram Kuehnert, Isaiah Mulang' Onando, Aisha Walcott, Sekou Lionel Remy, Charles Muchiri Wachira

Patent number: 11769004Abstract: A computer system may create a language model corpus including multilingual alignment for training a combined language model and train (or pre-train) the combined language model. The computer system may create an adverse medication reaction corpus to include adverse medication reaction utterances and label an N-gram of an utterance in the adverse medication reaction utterances as a response to query, for multiple N-grams. The computer system may generate a code-mixed utterance model to perform code-mixed utterances in a turn by turn dialogue, by at least adding additional output layer including at least a start vector, language vector, and a query vector including at least the labeled N-gram, which are additional to the combined language model's predicted next words.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Victor Abayomi Akinwande, Celia Cintas, Aisha Walcott, William Ogallo, Sekou Lionel Remy
