Labeled training data for the word alignment task, in the form of word-aligned sentence pairs, is hard to come by for many language-pairs. Hence, it is natural to draw upon semi-supervised learning methods (Fraser and Marcu, 2006). We introduce a semisupervised learning method for word alignment using conditional entropy regularization (Grandvalet and Bengio, 2005) on top of a BITG-based discri...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) as the third most common cancer brings about the fourth cause of worldwide cancer mortality (Jemal et al., 2011; Shemirani et al., 2011). According on World Health Organization (WHO) reports, CRC is one of the common diseases in an Asian population (Moghimi-Dehkordi et al., 2012; Haerian et al., 2014). It is noticeable that incidence of this cancer has been rising in an ...

In the absence of annotations in the target language, multilingual models typically draw on extensive parallel resources. In this paper, we demonstrate that accurate multilingual partof-speech (POS) tagging can be done with just a few (e.g., ten) word translation pairs. We use the translation pairs to establish a coarse linear isometric (orthonormal) mapping between monolingual embeddings. This...

Salmonella typhimurium definitive type 104 (DT104) is a virulent pathogen for humans and animals with many strains having multiple drug resistance characteristics. The organism typically carries resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, florfenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline (ACSSuT-resistant). A multiplex PCR method was developed to simultaneously amplify four genes, florfe...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an invariably fatal form of cancer characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is activated in MM cells through constitutively active beta-catenin, a messenger molecule relevant to growth, survival, and migration of MM cells. The identification of a number of small molecular compounds, such as P...

SHP-2 (also named PTP1D, syp, or SH-PTP2) has been identified as a phosphotyrosine phosphatase comprising two src-homology-2 (SH2) domains. Upon growth factor stimulation, SHP-2 becomes tyrosine phosphorylated, thereby increasing its catalytic activity. Here, we identified SHP-2 to be phosphorylated on multiple tyrosine residues in response to different stimuli and unmasked the carboxyl-termina...

The extent of the burnt zone has been established by drilling. The thickest section, about 75 metres deep, underlies the Dry Lake gulch near the base of the coal measures. Other profiles of the bllrnt zone give an average thickness of about 25 metres, although thinning and some discontinuity is appartlnt. The present area of the burnt zone amounting to about 3.5 square kilometres is evidently o...
