However, up to now, in the biomedical domain comparatively fewer corpus focus on semantic association among all tokens in a sentence. We proposed an annotation scheme based on feature structure theory for enriching biomedical domain corpora with token semantic association （TSA）. There are 227 documents of the BioNLP GE ST training data annotated to form TSA corpus in which each annotated item shows a token semantic association that appears as a triple. The annotation of token semantic association has the potential to significantly advance biomedical text mining by providing rich token semantic information for NLP systems especially for the sophisticated IE systems, such as bio-event extraction.展开更多

It is composed of eight modules. RiceMap module archives the process of Affymetrix probe sets mapping to different databases about rice, and aims to the genes represented by a microarray set by retrieving annotation information via the identifier or accession number of every database; RiceGO module indicates the association between a microarray set and gene ontology （GO） categories; RiceKO module is used to annotate a microarray set based on the KEGG biochemical pathways; RiceDO module indicates the information of domain associated with a microarray set; RiceUP module is used to obtain promoter sequences for all genes represented by a microarray set; RiceMR module lists potential microRNA which regulated the genes represented by a microarray set; RiceCD and RiceGF are used to annotate the genes represented by a microarray set in the context of chromosome distribution and rice paralogous family distribution. The results of automatic annotation are mostly consistent with manual annotation. Biological interpretation of the microarray data is quickened by the help of RiceDB.展开更多

In addition to the previously wellcharacterized sRNAs such as microRNAs （miRNAs）, piwi-interacting RNAs （piRNAs）, and small nucleolar RNA （snoRNAs）, recent emerging studies have spotlighted on tRNA-derived sRNAs （tsRNAs） and rRNA-derived sRNAs （rsRNAs） as new categories of sRNAs that bear versatile functions. Since existing software and pipelines for sRNA annotation are mostly focused on analyzing miRNAs or piRNAs, here we developed the sRNA annotation pipeline _optimized for rRNA- and tRNA-derived s_RNAs （SPORTS 1 .0）. SPORTS1.0 is optimized for analyzing tsRNAs and rsRNAs from sRNA-seq data, in addition to its capacity to annotate canonical sRNAs such as miRNAs and piRNAs. Moreover, SPORTS1.0 can predict potential RNA modification sites based on nucleotide mismatches within sRNAs. SPORTS1.0 is precompiled to annotate sRNAs for a wide range of 68 species across bacteria, yeast, plant, and animal kingdoms, while additional species for analyses could be readily expanded upon end users＇ input. For demonstration, by analyzing sRNA datasets using SPORTS1.0, we reveal that distinct signatures are present in tsRNAs and rsRNAs from different mouse cell types. We also find that compared to other sRNA species, tsRNAs bear the highest mismatch rate, which is consistent with their highly modified nature. SPORTS1.0 is an opensource software and can be publically accessed at https：//github.com/junchaoshi/sports1.0.展开更多

Three kernel descriptors such as gradient, shape, and color are extracted, respectively. Feature late-fusion is executed in turn by the multiple kernel learning model to obtain more discriminant image features. Absolute rank and relative rank of the tag-rank model are used to boost the key words＇ weights. A new word integration algorithm named word sequence blocks building （WSBB） is designed to create N-gram word sequences. Sentences are generated according to the N-gram word sequences and predefined templates. Experimental results show that both the BLEU-1 scores and BLEU-2 scores of the sentences are superior to those of the state-of-art baselines.展开更多

文摘Understanding genetic variant functionality is essential for advancing animal genomics and precision breeding.However,the lack of comprehensive functional genomic annotations in animals limits the effectiveness of most variant function assessment methods.In this study,we gather 1030 raw epigenomic datasets from 10 animal species and systematically annotate 7 types of key regulatory regions,creating a comprehensive functional annotation map of animal genomic variants.Our findings demonstrate that integrating variants with regulatory annotations can identify tissues and cell types underlying economic traits,underscoring the utility of these annotations in functional variant discovery.Using our functional annotations,we rank the functional potential of genetic variants and classify over 127 million candidate variants into 5 functional confidence categories,with high-confidence variants significantly enriched in eQTLs and trait-associated SNPs.Incorporating these variants into genomic prediction models can improve estimated breeding value accuracy,demonstrating their practical utility in breeding programs.To facilitate the use of our results,we develop the Integrated Functional Mutation(IFmut:http://www.ifmutants.com:8212)platform,enabling researchers to explore regulatory annotations and assess the functional potential of animal variants efficiently.Our study provides a robust framework for functional genomic annotations in farm animals,enhancing variant function assessment and breeding precision.
文摘It is believed that in ancient China,there were only works on graphology,phonology and critical interpretation,but no works on grammar.In works of grammar history published in modern times,they just dwell briefly on ancient grammar,and they consider that there were only some explanations of form words,a few books of form words,but no syntactic analyses.However,in fact,in ancient classical works there were abundant materials of grammatical analyses.Ancient scholars worked out quite a few grammar rules,some of which were profound and coincidental with modern grammar theories.In the present research of ancient Chinese grammar,grammatical analyses made by ancient scholars should be summed up and inherited.

文摘Dealing with issues such as too simple image features and word noise inference in product image sentence anmotation, a product image sentence annotation model focusing on image feature learning and key words summarization is described. Three kernel descriptors such as gradient, shape, and color are extracted, respectively. Feature late-fusion is executed in turn by the multiple kernel learning model to obtain more discriminant image features. Absolute rank and relative rank of the tag-rank model are used to boost the key words＇ weights. A new word integration algorithm named word sequence blocks building （WSBB） is designed to create N-gram word sequences. Sentences are generated according to the N-gram word sequences and predefined templates. Experimental results show that both the BLEU-1 scores and BLEU-2 scores of the sentences are superior to those of the state-of-art baselines.
文摘Du Yu’s Annotation of Classics and Elucidations in "Spring and Autumn Annals" is considered as a milestone for the studies of Spring and Autumn Annals, In Du’s book, the Preface to the Spring and Autumn Annals is a theoretical summary and revision for the previous studies on the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Tso Chuan. Its combination of classics and elucidations makes Tso Chuan a real elucidating study on Spring and Autumn Annals. Du expounds his philosophy and political ideas in this book.
