Abstract
Systems and methods for enhancing knowledge discovery from data using multiple learning machines in general and multiple support vector machines in particular. Training data for a learning machine is pre-processed in order to add meaning thereto. Multiple support vector machines, each comprising distinct kernels, are trained with the pre-processed training data and are tested with test data that is pre-processed in the same manner. The test outputs from multiple support vector machines are compared in order to determine which of the test outputs if any represents a optimal solution. Selection of one or more kernels may be adjusted and one or more support vector machines may be retrained and retested. Optimal solutions based on distinct input data sets may be combined to form a new input data set to be input into one or more additional support vector machine. The methods, systems and devices of the present invention comprise use of Support Vector Machines for the identification of patterns that are important for medical diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Such patterns may be found in many different datasets. The present invention also comprises methods and compositions for the treatment and diagnosis of medical conditions.

27. A method for identifying a subject at risk for colon cancer development comprising:
-
(a) obtaining a test sample from the subject;
(b) determining a biomarker presence in said test sample; and
(c) assessing the risk for colon cancer development in the subject;
wherein the biomarker is a group of genes comprising H08393, M59040, T94579, H81558, R88740, T62947 and H64807 and where each gene codes a protein modulated in colon cancer tissue. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)

30. A device for assessing a change in a biological system comprising:
-
a chip having specific binding protein, DNA, RNA, nucleic acids or combinations thereof which specifically bind a group of biomarker genes or a biomarker proteins encoded thereby, which binding indicates the change in the biological system; and
wherein the group of biomarker genes consists essentially of H08393, M59040, T94579, H81558, R88740, T62947 and H64807 and indicates colon cancer. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)
