Many algorithms have been developed to harvest lexical semantic resources, however few have linked the mined knowledge into formal knowledge repositories. In this paper, we propose two algorithms for automatically ontologizing (attaching) semantic relations into WordNet. We present an empirical evaluation on the task of attaching partof and causation relations, showing an improvement on F-score...

While most molecular reactions involving synthetic oligonucleotides, notably PCR and DNA sequencing, are carried out in liquid phase, a rapidly growing number of important applications utilize synthetic oligonucleotides attached to solid supports. In general, the purpose for using a solid support-attached oligonucleotide is to capture something, hold on to it, enrich it, and identify and/or pur...

Many important molecular applications, such as DNA oligonucleotide arrays, utilize synthetic oligonucleotides attached to solid supports. The most accessible approach for producing an oligonucleotide microarray is to synthesize individual oligonucleotides and subsequently immobilize them to a solid surface. For this immobilization to take place, the oligonucleotides must be modified with a func...

There has been much recent interest in the idea of "intelligent interface agent" software. An intelligent agent is software that can take independent actions in the interface on behalf of a user's goals, without explicit intervention by the user. Examples of such agents include Apple's hypothetical "knowledge navigator" [Apple 89], programming by demonstration systems [Cypher 93], mail and news...

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have provided a platform for parties to transfer digital value in a decentralised way. However, to support scalability, the amount of extra data that can be attached to a transaction is very limited, greatly limiting the possibility of attaching descriptive metadata to them with the same guarantees that the Blockchain In this paper we study the problem of attaching...

BACKGROUND Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) constitute a significant risk to human health worldwide, and infections, particularly with serogroup O157:H7, are associated with consumption of a variety of food and water vehicles, particularly food of bovine origin. EHEC cause acute gastroenteritis, bloody diarrhoea, and haemorrhagic colitis; up to 10% of cases develop severe complication...
