This paper investigates whether Chomsky-like grammar representations are useful for learning cost-effective, comprehensible predictors of members of biological sequence families. The Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) Bayesian approach to learning from positive examples is used to generate a grammar for recognising a class of proteins known as human neuropeptide precursors (NPPs). Collectively, ...

This paper presents a new method of measuring performance when positives are rare and investigates whether Chomskylike grammar representations are useful for learning accurate comprehensible predictors of members of biological sequence families. The positive-only learning framework of the Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) system CProgol is used to generate a grammar for recognising a class of p...

This study was an attempt to explore the beliefs of Iranian EFL teachers about the role of grammar in English language teaching in both state schools and private language institutes. Data were collected through a questionnaire developed by Burgess and Etherington (2002), which consisted of 11 main subscales and was divided into two sections. The first section dealt with approaches to grammar te...

It is necessary to read an entire text in order understand its meaning, or it may suffice a few pages sentences conclude that the content of discourse coherent and interdependent. As Arab commentators rhetoricians have put it, constitutes artistic painting which one part does not replace other. On contrary, this alone represent outside text, represents inside question arise here can readers ext...

Synopsis Scientific writing is a skill that needs to be developed through concentration and practice. By the final draft of a paper, each sentence should have been crafted to convey information clearly, succinctly, and accurately. The standard of writing in current scientific journals has reached an all-time low, in terms of both poor grammar and imprecise communication. This situation has been...

OBJECTIVE To share with potential authors tips for communicating their ideas more clearly in a scholarly manuscript. DESCRIPTION Communicating scientific, technical, or medical information so that readers can understand its meaning requires logical organization and proper use of language. These 30 tips review basic English grammar and suggest ways authors can clearly and concisely present the...

A novel method is presented for protein relation extraction from scientific abstracts. The proposed method is based on Meta-Grammars, a novel method for grammar inference that uses genetic programming and a BNF description to discover a tree representation of sentence structure that can be used for information extraction. A series if transformations are applied to the original corpus before the...
