Square Kilometre Array Science Data Challenge 1: analysis and results
Bonaldi, A.; T. An; Bruggen, M.; Burkutean, S.; Coelho, B.; Goodarzi, H.; Hartley, P.; Sandhu, P. K.; Wu, C.; L. Yu; Haghighi, M. H. ZhoolidehAs the largest radio telescope in the world, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will lead the next generation of radio astronomy. The feats of engineering required to construct the telescope array will be matched only by the techniques developed to exploit the rich scientific value of the data. To drive forward the development of efficient and accurate analysis methods, we are designing a series of data challenge...
Association between alcohol and cardiovascular disease : Mendelian randomisatio...
Holmes, M. V.; Dale, C. E.; Zuccolo, L.; Silverwood, R. J.; Guo, Y.; Ye, Z.; Prieto-Merino, D.; Dehghan, A.; Trompet, S.; Wong, A.; Cavadino, A.Objective: To use the rs1229984 variant in the alcohol dehydrogenase 1B gene (ADH1B) as an instrument to investigate the causal role of alcohol in cardiovascular disease. Design: Mendelian randomisation meta-analysis of 56 epidemiological studies. Participants: 261 991 individuals of European descent, including 20 259 coronary heart disease cases and 10 164 stroke events. Data were available on ADH1B rs1229984 ...
A linear classifier based on entity recognition tools and a statistical approac...
Lourenço, Anália; Conover, M.; Wong, A.; Nematzadeh, A.; Pan, F.; Shatkay, Hagit; Rocha, Luís M.Background We participated, as Team 81, in the Article Classification and the Interaction Method subtasks (ACT and IMT, respectively) of the Protein-Protein Interaction task of the BioCreative III Challenge. For the ACT, we pursued an extensive testing of available Named Entity Recognition and dictionary tools, and used the most promising ones to extend our Variable Trigonometric Threshold linear classifier.
