    摘要: The present invention is an apparatus and method for classifying high-dimensional sparse datasets. A raw data training set is flattened by converting it from categorical representation to a boolean representation. The flattened data is then used to build a class model on which new data not in the training set may be classified. In one embodiment, the class model takes the form of a decision tree, and large itemsets and cluster information are used as attributes for classification. In another embodiment, the class model is based on the nearest neighbors of the data to be classified. An advantage of the invention is that, by flattening the data, classification accuracy is increased by eliminating artificial ordering induced on the attributes. Another advantage is that the use of large itemsets and clustering increases classification accuracy.

A goal is to allocate the message alternatives to the customer population to optimize business objectives. The includes reading prior stage message state data pertaining to a prior stage including a cumulative number of trials and a cumulative number of successes for a particular message. Message performance results representing message trials and message successes from the previous stage based on the prior-stage state are then read, and a current message state is computed. A current message allocation is generated based on the current message state. Desirably the cumulative number of trials and the cumulative number of successes are discounted based on the age of the information. This inventive procedure may be applied to various message types including, for example, web site banner advertisements, electronic advertisements generally, email messages and promotions, and the like.

    摘要: A method and associated system 300 for delivering intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) uses variable feathering field splitting for intensity modulated fields of large size. A processor controls a beam-shaping device that splits the radiation beam into a plurality of radiation fields delivered to a patient. The processor in cooperation with the beam-shaping device implements a variable feathering method which includes providing an intensity matrix for the treatment of a patient, the intensity matrix having a plurality of rows and columns for spanning a prescribed radiation field including a prescribed field width. The prescribed width is compared to a maximum field width provided by the radiation treatment system. The intensity matrix is split into a plurality of spatially overlapping intensity submatrices by variably feathering the intensity matrix when the prescribed width exceeds the maximum field width, Radiotherapy is then provided to the patient using a leaf sequencing method to generate the submatrices.

    摘要: A method of delivering radiation treatment using multi-leaf collimation includes the step of providing a radiation fluence map which includes an intensity profile. The fluence map is converted into a preliminary leaf sequence, wherein the preliminary leaf sequence minimizes machine on-time and is generated without leaf movement constraints. The leaf movement constraint is imposed on the preliminary leaf sequence. At least one constraint elimination algorithm is then applied, the algorithm adjusting the preliminary leaf sequence to minimize violations of the constraint while providing the desired fluence map and minimized radiation on-time. The method can be applied to SMLC and DLMC systems, and can include adjustment for the tongue-and-groove effect.
