Abstract: A computer system securely accesses a specific data store. A non-contextual data object is associated with a context object to define a first synthetic context-based object. The non-contextual data object ambiguously describes multiple types of persons, and the context object provides a circumstantial context that identifies a specific type of person from the multiple types of persons. The first synthetic context-based object is associated with at least one specific data store in a data structure. A string of binary data that describes a requester of data, including a time window for receipt and security level of the requester, is received by the computer system for generating a new synthetic context-based object. If there is a match between the new synthetic context-based object, the first synthetic context-based object, and the security level of the requester, then the data is returned to the requester by the computer system.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for providing data security for data that is stored in a cloud-level platform. In one embodiment, each session is associated with specific session “keys” for use in encrypting and decrypting data. The session specific keys are generated by a client application and the client public key of a public/private key pair is provided to the cloud platform as part of a user authentication process. If the user is properly authenticated, then the platform creates its own set of keys and sends the server public key of a public/private key pair to the client. When the client requests a data record or document, the platform can determine if the user is authorized to have access to the entire data record or document or only to certain fields or portions of the record or document. Based on that determination, the platform may selectively encrypt certain fields or portions of the record or document with the client public key.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to processing a request from a user device for access rights for a resource. An access management system can send a request to query a (e.g., cached or authoritative) data store for available access rights. The query may include an exact-match or fuzzy query. A set of access-right results responsive to the query can be identified. The system may transmit a communication to the user device that identifies the set, or a subset thereof. Upon receiving a selection of a result, the system can facilitate assigning access rights corresponding to the identified result to the user. In some instances, a level of precision at which a characteristic of an access-right result is identified and/or whether or how access rights are held depends on a request load.

Abstract: A method of segmenting images of biological specimens using adaptive classification to segment a biological specimen into different types of tissue regions. The segmentation is performed by, first, extracting features from the neighborhood of a grid of points (GPs) sampled on the whole-slide (WS) image and classifying them into different tissue types. Secondly, an adaptive classification procedure is performed where some or all of the GPs in a WS image are classified using a pre-built training database, and classification confidence scores for the GPs are generated. The classified GPs with high confidence scores are utilized to generate an adaptive training database, which is then used to re-classify the low confidence GPs. The motivation of the method is that the strong variation of tissue appearance makes the classification problem more challenging, while good classification results are obtained when the training and test data origin from the same slide.
