Patent Document ID: 9463334
Application ID: 14039920

Base Claim:
1. A computer implemented method of automatically generating a radiation treatment plan for a patient, said method comprising: accessing patient information pertaining to planning a radiation treatment for said patient; automatically selecting one or more predictive models based on said patient information in accordance with a hierarchical model comprising a plurality of predictive models arranged in a hierarchy, wherein a respective predictive model of said plurality of predictive models is established based on training data and operable to generate a radiation treatment prediction, wherein said hierarchical model is automatically generated through a machine training process, and wherein said respective predictive model represents a correlation between a set of input variables representing patient information features and a set of output variables; processing said patient information in accordance with said one or more predictive models; and outputting one or more radiation treatment predictions.

Claim 4:
4. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said patient information comprises data of a plurality of sets of features, wherein each set comprise one or more features, and wherein said hierarchy comprises a plurality of intermediate levels and a lowest level comprising said plurality of predictive models, wherein each intermediate level corresponds to divisions with respect to a respective set of features, and wherein divisions corresponding to a subordinate intermediate level are nested with divisions corresponding to a superordinate intermediate level.
