Background: Biomedical ontologies are critical for integration of data from diverse sources and for use by knowledge-based biomedical applications, especially natural language pro...
Background: In this paper we present a method for the statistical assessment of cancer predictors which make use of gene expression profiles. The methodology is applied to a new d...

Background: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has allowed bacteria to evolve many new capabilities. Because transferred genes perform many medically important functions, such as conf...
A belief-propagation decoder for low-density lattice codes, which represents messages explicitly as a mixture of Gaussians functions, is given. In order to prevent the mixture elem...
Background: The power of haplotype-based methods for association studies, identification of regions under selection, and ancestral inference, is well-established for diploid organ...

We attemped to improve recognition accuracy by reducing the inadequacies of the lexicon and language model. Specifically we address the following three problems: (1) the best size...

Improved acoustic modeling can significantly decrease the error rate in large-vocabulary speech recognition. Our approach to the problem is twofold. We first propose a scheme that...
This paper presents work done at Cambridge University, on the TREC7 Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) Track. The broadcast news audio was transcribed using a 2-pass gender-dependent...

Our principle objective was to reduce the error rate of speech recognition systems used by professional translators. Our work concentrated on Spanish-to-English translation. In a ...
The area under an ROC curve (AUC) is a criterion used in many applications to measure the quality of a classification algorithm. However, the objective function optimized in most...
