Each artist has their own taste for topics of lyrics such as “love” and “friendship.” Considering such artist’s taste brings new applications in music information retrieval: choosing an artist based on topics of lyrics and finding unfamiliar artists who have similar taste to a favorite artist. Although previous studies applied latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) to lyrics to analyze topics, LDA w...

But, bringing something into existence requires being able to imagine experiencing it first. In this instance, the imagination serves as an unmapped territory for the artist to explore. The objects residing in this territory are often familiar. Yet, the artists exploration of their...

Transposon-insertion sequencing (TIS) is a powerful approach for deciphering genetic requirements for bacterial growth in different conditions, as it enables simultaneous genome-wide analysis of the fitness of thousands of mutants. However, current methods for comparative analysis of TIS data do not adjust for stochastic experimental variation between datasets and are limited to interrogation o...
