A computer-implemented tool for automated classification and interpretation of documents, such as life science documents supporting clinical trials, is configured to perform a combination of raw text, document construct, and image analyses to enhance classification accuracy by enabling a more comprehensive machine-based understanding of document content. The combination of analyses provides context for classification by leveraging relative spatial relationships among text and image elements, identifying characteristics and formatting of elements, and extracting additional metadata from the documents as compared to conventional automated classification tools.

Automated classification and interpretation of life science documents

Documents in source natural languages are translated into target natural languages using a computer-implemented translation that is configured to operate within the domain of the subject matter of the documents that imposes specialized requirements for translation and readability. Subject matter specific documents typically include domain-specific terminology, are subject to various regulatory guidelines, and have different readability requirements depending on the intended reader. The computer-implemented translation applies machine-learning techniques that deconstruct elements of the subject matter specific document into a standard data structure and perform pre-processing steps to tokenize digitized document text to identify the correct sentence structure and syntax for the target natural language to optimize translation by, e.g., a neural machine translation engine. The text segments that are input into the neural machine translation engine are generated to be semantically meaningful in the target natural language to thereby enhance the understanding of the neural machine translation engine.

Automated translation of subject matter specific documents

A brain machine interface system for use with an electroencephalogram to identify a behavioral intent of a person is disclosed. The system includes an electroencephalogram configured to sense electromagnetic signals generated by a brain of a person. The electromagnetic signals include a time component and a frequency component. A monitor monitors a response of the person to a stimulus and a characteristic of the stimulus. A synchronization module synchronizes the sensed electromagnetic signals with the response and the characteristic to determine a set of electromagnetic signals corresponding to the monitored response and the characteristic. A processor processes the set of electromagnetic signals and extracts feature vectors. The feature vectors define a class of behavioral intent. The processor determines the behavioral intent of the person based on the feature vectors. A brain machine interface and a method for identifying a behavioral intent of a person is also disclosed.

A computer-implemented tool for automated classification and interpretation of documents, such as life science documents supporting clinical trials, is configured to perform a combination of raw text, document construct, and image analyses to enhance classification accuracy by enabling a more comprehensive machine-based understanding of document content. The combination of analyses provides context for classification by leveraging relative spatial relationships among text and image elements, identifying characteristics and formatting of elements, and extracting additional metadata from the documents as compared to conventional automated classification tools, wherein natural language processing (NLP) is applied to associate text with tokens, and relevant differences and similarities between protocols are identified.
