Application of Semantic Kernels to Literature-Based Gene Function Annotation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, a number of machine learning approaches to literature-based gene function annotation have been proposed. However, due to issues such as lack of labeled data, class imbalance and computational cost, they have usually been unable to surpass simpler approaches based on string-matching. In this paper, we investigate the use of semantic kernels as a way to address the task’s inherent data scarcity and we propose a simple yet effective solution to deal with class imbalance. From experiments on the TREC Genomics Track data, our approach achieves better F1-score than two state-of-the-art approaches based on string-matching and cross-species information.

Semantic Annotation of Papers: Interface & Enrichment Tool (SAPIENT)
In this paper we introduce a web application (SAPIENT) for sentence based annotation of full papers with semantic information. SAPIENT enables experts to annotate scientific papers sentence by sentence and also to link related sentences together, thus forming spans of interesting regions, which can facilitate text mining applications. As part of the system, we developed an XML-aware sentence sp...
متن کاملPreferred Lexical Access Route in Persian Learners of English: Associative, Semantic or Both
Background: Words in the Mental Lexicon (ML) construct semantic field through associative and/ or semantic connections, with a pervasive native speaker preference for the former. Non-native preferences, however, demand further inquiry. Previous studies have revealed inconsistent Lexical Access (LA) patterns due to the limitations in the methodology and response categorization. Objectives: To f...

Concept-based information retrieval is known to be a powerful and reliable process. However, the need of a semantically annotated corpus and its respective data structure ± e.g. a domain ontology ± can be problematic. The conception and enlargement of a semantic index is a tedious task, which needs to be addressed. We previously suggested an annotation propagation approach in a vector space rep...
متن کاملThe evolution of the meaning of the word nurse based on the classical texts of Persian literature
Background and Aim: The semantic evolution of a word over time is inevitable, indicating a social, political, religious or cultural process. Nurse is one of the words that has a significant presence in Persian literature texts and has been used in many different meanings such as slave, servan, maid, devotee, obedient, patient and preserver. The purpose of this study is to show its semantic ev...
