Motivation: Topic segmentation and labeling systems enable fine-grained information search. However, previously proposed methods require annotated data to adapt to different information needs and have limited applicability to texts with short segment length.
Methods: We introduce an unsupervised method based on a combination of hidden Markov models and latent semantic analysis which allows the topics of interest to be defined freely, without the need for data annotation, and can identify short segments.
Results: The method is evaluated on intensive care nursing narratives and motivated by information needs in this domain. The method is shown to considerably outperform a keyword-based heuristic baseline and to achieve a level of performance comparable to that of a related supervised method trained on 3600 manually annotated words.

Motivation: Genotyping of bi-parental populations can be performed with low-coverage next-generation sequencing (LC-NGS). This allows the creation of highly saturated genetic maps at reasonable cost, precisely localized recombination breakpoints (i.e.

Genetic studies of Plasmodium parasites increasingly feature relatedness estimates. However, various aspects of malaria parasite relatedness estimation are not fully understood. For example, relatedness estimates based on whole-genome-sequence (WGS) data often exceed those based on sparser data types.

Background: Recent advances in multimodal signal analysis enable the identification of subtle drug-induced anomalies in sleep that traditional methods often miss.
New Method: We develop and introduce the Dynamic Representation of Multimodal Activity and Markov States (DREAMS) framework, which embeds explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques to model hidden state transitions during sleep using tensorized EEG, EMG, and EOG signals from 22 subjects across three age groups (18-29, 30-49, and 50-66 years). By combining Tucker decomposition with probabilistic Hidden Markov Modeling, we quantified age-specific, temazepam-induced hidden states and significant differences in transition probabilities.
Study of dynamic brain function in irritable bowel syndrome via Hidden Markov Modeling.
Front Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong, China.
Background And Purpose: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common bowel-brain interaction disorder whose pathogenesis is unclear. Many studies have investigated abnormal changes in brain function in IBS patients. In this study, we analyzed the dynamic changes in brain function in IBS patients using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM).
