In 1999, and from 2000 through 2008, a total of 10 or 15 United States (USA) medical centers each forwar...

Life scientists are often interested to compare two gene sets to gain insight into differences between two distinct, but related, phenotypes or conditions. Several tools have been developed for comparing gene sets, most of which find Gene Ontology (GO) terms that are significantly over-represented in one gene set. However, such tools often return GO terms that are too generic or too few to be i...

With the currently growing interest in the Semantic Web, keywords/metadata extraction is coming to play an increasingly important role.

A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word.
