Named entity recognition (NER) is the task to detect and classify the entity spans in the text. When entity spans overlap between each other, this problem is named as nested NER. Span-based methods have been widely used to tackle the nested…
RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is the conventional genome-scale approach used to capture the expression levels of all detectable genes in a biological sample. This is now regularly used for population-based studies designed to identify genetic…
State-of-the-art image models predominantly follow a two-stage strategy: pre-training on large datasets and fine-tuning with cross-entropy loss. Many studies have shown that using cross-entropy can result in sub-optimal generalisation and…
Adversarial training methods commonly generate independent initial perturbation for adversarial samples from a simple uniform distribution, and obtain the training batch for the classifier without selection. In this work, we propose a…

Deep domain adaptation methods can reduce the distribution discrepancy by learning domain-invariant embedddings. However, these methods only focus on aligning the whole data distributions, without considering the class-level relations among…
The analysis of high-dimensional data, common in fields such as genomics, is complicated by the presence of cellwise contamination, where individual cells rather than entire rows are corrupted. This contamination poses a significant…
Single-cell RNA-seq provides detailed molecular snapshots of individual cells but is notoriously noisy. Variability stems from biological differences and technical factors, such as amplification bias and limited RNA capture efficiency,…
