Artificial intelligence engine for directed hypothesis generation and ranking

Abstract

An artificial intelligence engine for directed hypothesis generation and ranking uses multiple heterogeneous knowledge graphs integrating disease-specific multi-omic data specific to a patient or cohort of patients. The engine also uses a knowledge graph representation of 'what the world knows' in the relevant bio-medical subspace. The engine applies a hypothesis generation module, a semantic search analysis component to allow fast acquiring and construction of cohorts, as well as aggregating, summarizing, visualizing and returning ranked multi-omic alterations in terms of clinical actionability and degree of surprise for individual samples and cohorts. The engine also applies a moderator module that ranks and filters hypotheses, where the most promising hypothesis can be presented to domain experts (e.g., physicians, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and researchers) for feedback. The engine also uses a continuous integration module that iteratively refines and updates entities and relationships and their representations to yield higher quality of hypothesis generation over time.
