Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for controlling operations of one or more healthcare facilities. In one aspect, the method comprises repeatedly performing the following: i) selecting a configuration of input settings for controlling operations of the healthcare facilities based on a causal model that measures current causal relationships between input settings and a measure of success of operations at the healthcare facilities; ii) receiving a measure of success of the operation of the healthcare facilities while controlled using the configuration of input settings; and iii) adjusting, based on the measure of success of the operation of the healthcare facilities while controlled using the configuration of input settings, the causal model.

Abstract: A method of performing a process using a plurality of control signals and resulting in a plurality of measurable outcomes is described. The method includes optimizing the plurality of control signals by at least: receiving a plurality of process constraints; receiving, for each measurable outcome, an optimum range; receiving, for each control signal, a plurality of potential optimum values; iteratively performing the process, where for each process iteration, the value of each control signal is selected from among the plurality of potential optimum values received for the control signal; for each process iteration, measuring each outcome in the plurality of measurable outcomes; and generating confidence intervals for the control signals to determine a causal relationship between the control signals and the measurable outcomes. The method includes performing the process using at least the control signals determined by the causal relationship to causally affect at least one of the measurable outcomes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for optimizing parameters of one or more proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. In one aspect, the method comprises repeatedly performing the following: i) selecting a configuration of respective PID parameters for each of the plurality of PID controllers, based on a causal model that measures causal relationships between PID parameters and a measure of success in controlling the system; ii) determining the measure of success of the configuration of respective PID parameters for the plurality of PID controllers in controlling the system; and iii) adjusting, based on the measure of success of the configuration of respective PID parameters for the plurality of PID controllers in controlling the system, the causal model.

Abstract: Methods for management of a powertrain system in a vehicle. The methods receive data or signals from multiple sensors associated with the vehicle. Optimum thresholds for classifications of the sensor data can be changed based injecting signals into the powertrain system and receiving responsive signals. Expected priorities for the sensor signals can be altered based upon attributes of the signals and confirming actual priorities for the signals. Look-up tables for engine management can be modified based upon injecting signals into the powertrain system and measuring a utility of the responsive signals. The methods can thus dynamically alter and modify data for powertrain management, such as look-up tables, during vehicle operation under a wide range of conditions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically optimizing models used for sensor data analytics. An action is taken based on an analytics determination by systematically varying parameters of the analytical model using actions taken based on the analytics to determine the relative frequencies of hits, misses, false alarms, and correct rejections for particular model parameters. The model parameters for local analytics are selected based upon on signal detection theory analysis and the value or cost of each hit, miss, false alarm, or correct rejection.

Abstract: A method of evaluating a plurality of patient protocols associated with a medical context, the method including, with a computer system, accessing a database including medical information for a plurality of patients associated with the medical context items. For each of the patients, the medical information includes an indication that one of the patient protocols is associated with the patient. The method further includes, with the computer system, evaluating each of the patient protocols based on medical information associated with patients within a patient population, the patient population representing a subset of the patients, to estimate an efficacy of each of the patient protocols for the patient population, and identifying the patient population represents a low-efficacy patient population based on the efficacy estimates for the patient population. The method further includes storing, within the database, an indication that the patient population represents the low-efficacy patient population.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of evaluating a plurality of protocols associated with a medical context includes receiving, with a computer system, an indication of a medical context item corresponding to a medical context, accessing, with the computer system, a digital library including a plurality of protocols associated with the medical context, assigning, with the computer system, predictive outcomes to one or more of plurality of protocols, selecting, with the computer system, one of the plurality of protocols associated with the medical context based upon the assigned predictive outcomes, and storing, with the computer system within a database, an indication the selected protocol is assigned to the medical context item.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically selecting actions to take on a utility grid to simultaneously reduce uncertainty while selecting actions that improve one or more effectiveness metrics. Grid action effects are represented as confidence intervals, the overlap of which is used as a weight when selecting actions within a constrained search space of grid actions. The response of the utility grid to the grid actions may be measured and parsed by the temporal and spatial reach of the grid action, then used to update the confidence intervals for that particular selected grid action.
