Unlabeled data: Now it helps, now it doesn't

Empirical evidence shows that in favorable situations semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms can capitalize on the abundance of unlabeled training data to improve the performance of a learning task, in the sense that fewer labeled training data are needed to achieve a target error bound. However, in other situations unlabeled data do not seem to help. Recent attempts at theoretically charact...

P-V-L Deep: A Big Data Analytics Solution for Now-casting in Monetary Policy

The development of new technologies has confronted the entire domain of science and industry with issues of big data's scalability as well as its integration with the purpose of forecasting analytics in its life cycle. In predictive analytics, the forecast of near-future and recent past - or in other words, the now-casting - is the continuous study of real-time events and constantly updated whe...

Sharing public health data: necessary and now.

On May 20, 2010, after 15 years of research that cost US$40 million, Gibson and colleagues reported the creation of a synthetic bacterial cell at the J Craig Venter Institute (Rockville, MD, and San Diego, CA, USA) in Science. In this proof-of-principle study, the researchers used a computer to design a synthetic genome sequence that was based on the genome sequences of two laboratory strains o...

Toxicogenomics Data on Acetaminophen Now Available

Background: The appearance of dumbbell neuroma of the first thoracic root is extremely rare. The extradural component of a T1-dumbbell neuroma may present as an apical mass. The diagnosis of hand weakness is complex and may be delayed in T1-neuroma because of absence of the palpable cervical mass. One-stage removal of a T1-root neuroma and its intrathoracic extension demanded an extended poster...
