Motivation: Rule-based modeling is a powerful method to describe and simulate interactions among multi-site molecules and multi-molecular species, accounting for the internal connectivity of molecules in chemical species. This modeling technique is implemented in BioNetGen software that is used by various tools and software frameworks, such as BioNetGen stand-alone software, NFSim simulation engine, Virtual Cell simulation and modeling framework, SmolDyn and PySB software tools. These tools exchange models using BioNetGen scripting language (BNGL). Until now, there was no online visualization of such rule-based models. Modelers and researchers reading the manuscripts describing rule-based models had to learn BNGL scripting or master one of these tools to understand the models.

Results: Here, we introduce bnglViz, an online platform for visualizing BNGL files as graphical cartoons, empowering researchers to grasp the nuances of rule-based models swiftly and efficiently, and making the exploration of complex biological systems more accessible than ever before. The produced visualizations can be used as supplemental figures in publications or as a way to annotate BNGL models on web repositories.

Missed critical imaging findings, particularly those indicating cancer, are a common issue that can result in delays in patient follow-up and treatment. To address this, we developed a rule-based natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to detect cancer-suspicious findings from Japanese radiology reports. The dataset used consisted of chest and abdomen CT reports from six institutions.

Deciphering abbreviations in Malaysian clinical notes using machine learning.

Methods Inf Med

January 2025

Artificial Intelligence Lab, Mimos Berhad, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Objective: This is the first Malaysian machine learning model to detect and disambiguate abbreviations in clinical notes. The model has been designed to be incorporated into MyHarmony, a Natural Language Processing system, that extracts clinical information for healthcare management. The model utilizes word embedding to ensure feasibility of use, not in real-time but for secondary analysis, within the constraints of low-resource settings.

Deep learning-based defect detection in film-coated tablets using a convolutional neural network.

Int J Pharm

January 2025

Process Research & Development, Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.

Film-coating is a critical step in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Traditional visual inspections for film-coated tablet defect assessment are subjective, inefficient, and labor-intensive. We propose a novel approach utilizing machine learning and image analysis to address these limitations.

Recent theoretical work has argued that moral psychology can be understood through the lens of "resource rational contractualism." The view posits that the best way of making a decision that affects other people is to get everyone together to negotiate under idealized conditions. The outcome of that negotiation is an arrangement (or "contract") that would lead to mutual benefit.
