In this work we describe an approach that facilitates the automatic recognition of relationships defined between two different concepts in text. Unlike the traditional bag-of-words representation, in this work, a relationship is represented with a scheme of five distinct context-blocks based on the position of concepts in the text. This scheme was applied to eight different relationships, between medical problems, treatments and tests, on a set of 349 patient records from the 4th i2b2 challenge. Results show that the context-block representation was very successful (F-Measure = 0.775) compared to the bag-of-words model (F-Measure = 0.402). The advantage of this representation scheme was the correct management of word position information, which may be critical in identifying certain relationships.</p>","PeriodicalId":74528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

For a complex biological system with limited observations, one of the daunting tasks is the large number of unknown parameters in the mathematical modeling whose values directly determine the performance of computational modeling. To tackle this problem, we have developed a data-driven global optimization method, nonlinear RANSAC, based on RANdom SAmple Consensus (a.k.a. RANSAC) method for parameter estimation of nonlinear system models. Conventional RANSAC method is sound and simple, but it is oriented for linear system models. We not only adopt the strengths of RANSAC, but also extend the method to nonlinear systems with outstanding performance. As a specific application example, we have targeted understanding phagocyte transmigration which is involved in the fibrosis process for biomedical device implantation. With well-defined mathematical nonlinear equations of the system, nonlinear RANSAC is performed for the parameter estimation. In order to evaluate the general performance of the method, we also applied the method to signalling pathways with ordinary differential equations as a general format.</p>","PeriodicalId":74528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Next we show that an ensemble method can achieve > 0.5 prediction accuracy, while individual classifiers have < 0.5 prediction accuracies. Furthermore, for individual classifiers with different prediction accuracies, the average of the individual accuracies determines the upper and lower bounds.

Some computational methods predict protein functions by aligning to homologous proteins with known functions, but they fail to work if such homology cannot be identified. In this paper we classify enzymes/non-enzymes using non-alignment features. We propose a new ensemble method that includes three support vector machines (SVM) and two k-nearest neighbor algorithms (k-NN) and uses a simple majority voting rule. The test on a data set of 697 enzymes and 480 non-enzymes adapted from Dobson and Doig shows 85.59% accuracy in a 10-fold cross validation and 86.49% accuracy in a leave-one-out validation. The prediction accuracy is much better than other non-alignment features based methods and even slightly better than alignment features based methods. To our knowledge, our method is the first time to use ensemble methods to classify enzymes/non-enzymes and is superior over a single classifier.</p>","PeriodicalId":74528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

This approach, which is based on a feature selection algorithm and one instance selection algorithm, reduces the original dataset in two dimensions, selecting relevant features and retaining important instances simultaneously. The search processes for the best feature and instance subsets occur separately yet, due to the influence of features in the importance of instances and vice versa, they bias one another. The experiments validate the proposed approach showing that this existing relation between features and instances can be reproduced when constructing data selection algorithms and that it leads to a quality improval comparing to the sequential execution of both algorithms.","PeriodicalId":74528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Based on such architecture two new SRL algorithms are proposed. In our algorithms, a behavior model learned from examples is used to dynamically reduce the set of actions available from each state during the early reinforcement learning (RL) process. The creation of such subsets of actions leads the agent to exploit relevant parts of the action space, avoiding the selection of irrelevant actions. Once the agent has exploited the information provided by the behavior model, it keeps improving its value function without any help, by selecting the next actions to be performed from the complete action space. Our experimental work shows clearly how this approach can dramatically speed up the learning process.","PeriodicalId":74528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

In this work, we describe a new approach of constant generation using Differential Evolution (DE), a real-valued GA robust and efficient at parameter optimization. Our experimental results on two symbolic regression problems show that the approach significantly improves the performance of the GEP algorithm.
