We applied some of these previous approaches to the space of question similarity. Our task was to create a classifier that given a pair of questions, attempted to predict whether or not the questions were asking the same question.

Despite the limited coding capacity that is characteristic of RNA viruses, rotavirus dedicates substantial resources to avoiding the host innate immune response. Among these strategies is use of the interferon antagonist protein NSP1, which targets cellular proteins required for interferon production to...

LOCOMOTION IS ARGUABLY one of the most ubiquitous and important manifestations of life, equally important to feeding as to escape predators. Evolution came up with three molecular motors to power motion: the actomyosin system Levitsky (11); the microtubule, dynein-based flagellar motors of eukaryotes (13); and the flagellar rotary motors of bacteria (15). All three systems serve propulsion, i.e...
