We are developing GenIE, a prototype intelligent system to create first drafts of genetic counseling patient letters. GenIE will apply natural language generation techniques to construct the first draft of a letter for subsequent review and editing, if needed, by the genetic counselor. For purposes of knowledge acquisition, we have been analyzing a corpus of patient letters. Based on the corpus...

We propose a framework for building graph­ ical causal model that is based on the con­ cept of causal mechanisms. Causal models are intuitive for human users and, more im­ portantly, support the prediction of the ef­ fect of manipulation. We describe an imple­ mentation of the proposed framework as an interactive model construction module, Ima­ GeNie, in SMILE (Structural Modeling, In­ ference,...

The extraction of neutrino mixing parameters from accelerator-based oscillation experiments relies on proper modeling neutrino-nucleus scattering processes using neutrino-interaction event generators. Experimental tests these generators are difficult due to the broad range energies produced in beams and low statistics current experiments. Here we overcome difficulties by exploiting similarity e...

The Commonality-Based Crossover Framework defines crossover as a two-step process: 1) preserve the maximal common schema of two parents, and 2) complete the solution with a construction heuristic. In these “heuristic” operators, the first step is a form of selection. This commonality-based form of selection has been isolated in GENIE. Using random parent selection and a non-elitist generational...

Previous work has shown in Paramecium tetraurelia that recessive genie mutants with the phenotype N, non-discharge of trichocysts from intact cells in response to a standard test (exposure to tannic or picric acid), are in some mutants due to lesions in trichocyst development and in others due to lesions in the cytoplasm; and that in stock di /J the same homozygous germinal genotype can yield b...

We evaluated a two-rapid-test serial algorithm using the Determine and Genie II rapid assays, performed on-site in four peripheral laboratories during the French Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le SIDA (ANRS) 1201/1202 Ditrame Plus cohort developed for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Côte d'Ivoire. A total of 1,039 specimens were ...

Background Primary care providers are well positioned to foster self-management through linking patients community-based health and social services (HSSs). This study evaluated a web-based tool—GENIE (Generating Engagement in Network Involvement)—to support the of adults. GENIE empowers leverage their personal networks increase access HSSs. maps patients’ networks, elicits preferences, filters ...
