Identifying rare events in rare diseases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Utilizing genomic signatures from diagnostic tumor samples to forecast clinical behavior and response to therapy has long been a goal, and we are now poised to further refine how we can identify the relatively rare patients with aggressive neuroblastoma masquerading as patients with a more benign form of the disease. Clin Cancer Res; 21(8); 1782-5. ©2014 AACR. See related article by Oberthuer et al., p. 1904.

متن کاملLearning to Predict Rare Events in Event Sequences
Learning to predict rare events from sequences of events with categorical features is an important, real-world, problem that existing statistical and machine learning methods are not well suited to solve. This paper describes timeweaver, a genetic algorithm based machine learning system that predicts rare events by identifying predictive temporal and sequential patterns. Timeweaver is applied t...
متن کاملLearning to Predict Extremely Rare Events
This paper describes Timeweaver, a genetic-based machine learning system that predicts events by identifying temporal and sequential patterns in data. This paper then focuses on the issues related to predicting rare events and discusses how Timeweaver addresses these issues. In particular, we describe how the genetic algorithm’s fitness function is tailored to handle the prediction of rare even...
