Coverage defects in alkylthiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are critically important to function related to electron transfer from soluble redox probes. There is therefore a need for an accurate and direct measurement of the number and type of coverage defect in a range of SAMs. Ferrocenyldodecanethiol (FcC(12)SH) has been assessed as an electrochemically-addressable label of coverage defec...

The Web and digitized text sources contain a wealth of information about named entities such as politicians, actors, companies, or cultural landmarks. Extracting this information has enabled the automated construction of large knowledge bases, containing hundred millions of binary relationships or attribute values about these named entities. However, in reality most knowledge is transient, i.e....

Several problems in computational biology and medicine are modelled as learning problems in graphs, where nodes represent the biological entities to be studied, e.g. proteins, and connections different kinds of relationships among them, e.g. protein-protein interactions. In this context, classes are usually characterized by a high imbalance, i.e. positive examples for a class are much less than...

We propose a discriminative latent model for annotating images with unaligned object-level textual annotations. Instead of using the bag-of-words image representation currently popular in the computer vision community, our model explicitly captures more intricate relationships underlying visual and textual information. In particular, we model the mapping that translates image regions to annotat...

In organisation schemes, musical artists are commonly identified with a unique ‘genre’ label attached, even when they have affinity to multiple genres. To uncover this hidden cultural awareness about multi-genre affinity, we present a new model based on the analysis of the way in which a community of users organise artists and genres in playlists. Our work is based on a novel dataset that we ha...

Protein subcellular localization prediction, as an essential step to elucidate the functions in vivo of proteins and identify drugs targets, has been extensively studied in previous decades. Instead of only determining subcellular localization of single-label proteins, recent studies have focused on predicting both single- and multi-location proteins. Computational methods based on Gene Ontolog...

Community structure of networks provides comprehensive insight into their organizational structure and functional behavior. LPA is one of the most commonly adopted community detection algorithms with nearly linear time complexity. But it suffers from poor stability and occurrence of monster community due to the introduced randomize. We note that different community-oriented node roles impact th...
