The process of moving a DNA base extrahelical (base flipping) has been shown in the co-crystal structure of a UV-induced pyrimidine dimer-specific glycosylase, T4 endonuclease V, with its substrate DNA. Compared with other enzymes known to use base flipping, endonuclease V is unique in that it moves the base opposite the target site extrahelical, rather than moving the target base itself. Utili...

This paper tackles the task of event detection, which involves identifying and categorizing events. The previous work mainly exists two problems: (1) the traditional feature-based methods apply crosssentence information, yet need taking a large amount of human effort to design complicated feature sets and inference rules; (2) the representation-based methods though overcome the problem of manua...

Social media like Twitter are used during an event (catastrophe, cultural events ...) to collaboratively comment or advise on that event. Social network users are then notified through the people they follow or by seeking tweets related to the event. However, given the size of a tweet, the information obtained by a single post is often very partial. Using a set of tweets about an event makes it...

Object-oriented, concurrent, and event-based programming models provide a natural framework in which to express the behavior of distributed and embedded software systems. However, contemporary programming languages still base their I/O primitives on a model in which the environment is assumed to be centrally controlled and synchronous, and interactions with the environment carried out through b...

Prior research indicates that people may base their causal explanations on distinctive features between an event and a contrasting background instance in which the event did not occur. Research on similarity judgments suggests that there are two types of distinctive features: alignable differences, which are corresponding characteristics of a pair, and nonalignable differences, which are charac...

Modern models of event extraction for tasks like ACE are based on supervised learning of events from small hand-labeled data. However, hand-labeled training data is expensive to produce, in low coverage of event types, and limited in size, which makes supervised methods hard to extract large scale of events for knowledge base population. To solve the data labeling problem, we propose to automat...

In our research group, we also focus on methods for automatic detection of event-related potentials in the EEG signal. We published the algorithm for event-related potential detection based on the matching pursuit algorithm in one of our previous papers. As usual, this method does not work well under special circumstances which can occur (it is a situation when the waveform of event-related pot...
