Partial label learning for automated classification of single-cell transcriptomic profiles.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNASeq) data plays a major role in advancing our understanding of developmental biology. An important current question is how to classify transcriptomic profiles obtained from scRNASeq experiments into the various cell types and identify the lineage relationship for individual cells. Because of the fast accumulation of datasets and the high dimensionality of the data, it has become challenging to explore and annotate single-cell transcriptomic profiles by hand.

Site Agnostic Approach to Early Detection of Cyberbullying on Social Media Networks.

The rise in the use of social media networks has increased the prevalence of cyberbullying, and time is paramount to reduce the negative effects that derive from those behaviours on any social media platform. This paper aims to study the early detection problem from a general perspective by carrying out experiments over two independent datasets (Instagram and Vine), exclusively using users' comments. We used textual information from comments over baseline early detection models (fixed, threshold, and dual models) to apply three different methods of improving early detection.

Inter-subject pattern analysis for multivariate group analysis of functional neuroimaging. A unifying formalization.

Background And Objective: In medical imaging, population studies have to overcome the differences that exist between individuals to identify invariant image features that can be used for diagnosis purposes. In functional neuroimaging, an appealing solution to identify neural coding principles that hold at the population level is inter-subject pattern analysis, i.e.

An overview of the BIOASQ large-scale biomedical semantic indexing and question answering competition.

Background: This article provides an overview of the first BIOASQ challenge, a competition on large-scale biomedical semantic indexing and question answering (QA), which took place between March and September 2013. BIOASQ assesses the ability of systems to semantically index very large numbers of biomedical scientific articles, and to return concise and user-understandable answers to given natural language questions by combining information from biomedical articles and ontologies.

Results: The 2013 BIOASQ competition comprised two tasks, Task 1a and Task 1b.

Online handwritten shape recognition using segmental hidden Markov models.

We investigate a new approach for online handwritten shape recognition. Interesting features of this approach include learning without manual tuning, learning from very few training samples, incremental learning of characters, and adaptation to the user-specific needs. The proposed system can deal with two-dimensional graphical shapes such as Latin and Asian characters, command gestures, symbols, small drawings, and geometric shapes.
