BACKGROUND: RNAs play key roles in cells through the interactions with proteins known as the RNA-binding proteins (RBP) and their binding motifs enable crucial understanding of the post-transcriptional regulation of RNAs. How the RBPs correctly recog...
Selective ensemble learning is a technique that selects a subset of diverse and accurate basic models in order to generate stronger generalization ability. In this paper, we proposed a novel learning algorithm that is based on parallel optimization a...
OBJECTIVE: Classifier transfers usually come with dataset shifts. To overcome dataset shifts in practical applications, we consider the limitations in computational resources in this paper for the adaptation of batch learning algorithms, like the sup...
OBJECTIVE: Drug-drug interaction (DDI) is of serious concern, causing over 30% of all adverse drug reactions and resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Early discovery of adverse DDI is critical to prevent patient harm. Spontaneous reporti...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a natural language processing (NLP) system in classifying a database of free-text knee MRI reports at two separate academic radiology practices.
BACKGROUND: Information extraction in clinical texts enables medical workers to find out problems of patients faster as well as makes intelligent diagnosis possible in the future. There has been a lot of work about disorder mention recognition in cli...
