Making adjustments to event annotations for improved biological event extraction.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Current state-of-the-art approaches to biological event extraction train statistical models in a supervised manner on corpora annotated with event triggers and event-argument relations. Inspecting such corpora, we observe that there is am...

Transfer String Kernel for Cross-Context DNA-Protein Binding Prediction.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Through sequence-based classification, this paper tries to accurately predict the DNA binding sites of transcription factors (TFs) in an unannotated cellular context. Related methods in the literature fail to perform such predictions accurately, sinc...

DRPPP: A machine learning based tool for prediction of disease resistance proteins in plants.

Computers in biology and medicine
Plant disease outbreak is increasing rapidly around the globe and is a major cause for crop loss worldwide. Plants, in turn, have developed diverse defense mechanisms to identify and evade different pathogenic microorganisms. Early identification of ...

Rule extraction from an optimized neural network for traffic crash frequency modeling.

Accident; analysis and prevention
This study develops a neural network (NN) model to explore the nonlinear relationship between crash frequency and risk factors. To eliminate the possibility of over-fitting and to deal with the black-box characteristic, a network structure optimizati...

A Novel Flexible Inertia Weight Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm.

PloS one
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is an evolutionary computing method based on intelligent collective behavior of some animals. It is easy to implement and there are few parameters to adjust. The performance of PSO algorithm depends greatly on the ap...

The Apollo Structured Vocabulary: an OWL2 ontology of phenomena in infectious disease epidemiology and population biology for use in epidemic simulation.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: We developed the Apollo Structured Vocabulary (Apollo-SV)-an OWL2 ontology of phenomena in infectious disease epidemiology and population biology-as part of a project whose goal is to increase the use of epidemic simulators in public heal...

Predicting Social Anxiety Treatment Outcome Based on Therapeutic Email Conversations.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Predicting therapeutic outcome in the mental health domain is of utmost importance to enable therapists to provide the most effective treatment to a patient. Using information from the writings of a patient can potentially be a valuable source of inf...

Predicting and communicating flood risk of transport infrastructure based on watershed characteristics.

Journal of environmental management
This research aims to identify and communicate water-related vulnerabilities in transport infrastructure, specifically flood risk of road/rail-stream intersections, based on watershed characteristics. This was done using flooding in Värmland and Väst...

In Silico Prediction of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Type-A Receptors Using Novel Machine-Learning-Based SVM and GBDT Approaches.

BioMed research international
Gamma-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABAARs) belong to multisubunit membrane spanning ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) which act as the principal mediators of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. Therefore, the category p...

Statistical learning theory for high dimensional prediction: Application to criterion-keyed scale development.

Psychological methods
Statistical learning theory (SLT) is the statistical formulation of machine learning theory, a body of analytic methods common in "big data" problems. Regression-based SLT algorithms seek to maximize predictive accuracy for some outcome, given a larg...
