Automated classification of animal sounds is a prerequisite for large-scale monitoring of biodiversity. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are among the most promising algorithms but they are slow, often achieve poor classification in the…
The selection of features is an essential data preprocessing stage in data mining. The core principle of feature selection seems to be to pick a subset of possible features by excluding features with almost no predictive information as well…
We propose \emph{PRISM} (\textbf{Pseudorandom Residue-based Indexed Scheduling Method}), a deterministic topology-discovery framework for single-hop wireless networks with bounded interference. Each receiver has at most \(L\) interfering…
Despite the remarkable recent progress, person re-identification (Re-ID) approaches are still suffering from the failure cases where the discriminative body parts are missing. To mitigate such cases, we propose a simple yet effective…
Objective: SNP heritability estimates vary substantially across estimation strategies, yet the downstream consequences for polygenic risk score (PRS) construction remain poorly characterised. We systematically benchmarked heritability…
Humans have $23$ pairs of homologous chromosomes. The homologous pairs are almost identical pairs of chromosomes. For the most part, differences in homologous chromosome occur at certain documented positions called single nucleotide…
This paper presents a comprehensive study to efficiently build named entity recognition (NER) systems when a small number of in-domain labeled data is available. Based upon recent Transformer-based self-supervised pre-trained language…
The first step in evaluating a potential diagnostic biomarker is to examine the variation in its values across different disease groups. In a three-class disease setting, the volume under the receiver operating characteristic surface and…
Markov blanket feature selection, while theoretically optimal, is generally challenging to implement. This is due to the shortcomings of existing approaches to conditional independence (CI) testing, which tend to struggle either with the…
Analysis of genomic segments shared identical-by-descent (IBD) between individuals is fundamental to many genetic applications, from demographic inference to estimating the heritability of diseases, but IBD detection accuracy in…
The Connectivity Map (CMap) is a large publicly available database of cellular transcriptomic responses to chemical and genetic perturbations built using a standardized acquisition protocol known as the L1000 technique. Databases such as…
In this paper, we proposed a novel Probabilistic Attribute Tree-CNN (PAT-CNN) to explicitly deal with the large intra-class variations caused by identity-related attributes, e.g., age, race, and gender. Specifically, a novel PAT module with…
We consider the problem of estimating the maximum posterior probability (MAP) state sequence for a finite state and finite emission alphabet hidden Markov model (HMM) in the Bayesian setup, where both emission and transition matrices have…
Single individual haplotyping is an NP-hard problem that emerges when attempting to reconstruct an organism's inherited genetic variations using data typically generated by high-throughput DNA sequencing platforms. Genomes of diploid…
We develop an empirical Bayes (EB) G-modeling framework for short-panel linear models with nonparametric prior for the random intercepts, slopes, dynamics, and non-spherical error variances. We establish identification and consistency of…
This paper devises a fully Bayesian sample size determination method for hierarchical model-based small area estimation with a decision risk approach. A new loss function specified around a desired maximum posterior variance target…
Short tandem repeats (STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are two kinds of commonly used markers in Y chromosome studies of forensic and population genetics. There has been increasing interest in the cost saving strategy by…
The domestication and subsequent selection by humans to create breeds of cattle undoubtedly altered the patterning of variation within their genomes. Strong selection to fix advantageous large-effect mutations underlying domesticability,…
Human identification is one of the most common and critical tasks for condition monitoring, human-machine interaction, and providing assistive services in smart environments. Recently, human gait has gained new attention as a biometric for…
The experimenter must perform a legitimate search in the entire set of feasible censoring schemes to identify the optimal type II progressive censoring scheme, when applied to a life-testing experiment. Current recommendations are limited…
