ChatIE: Zero-Shot Information Extraction via Chatting with ChatGPT

Zero-shot information extraction (IE) aims to build IE systems from the unannotated text. It is challenging due to involving little human intervention. Challenging but worthwhile, zero-shot IE reduces the time and effort that data labeling takes. Recent efforts on large language models (LLMs, e.g., GPT-3, ChatGPT) show promising performance on zero-shot settings, thus inspiring us to explore prompt-based methods. In this work, we ask whether strong IE models can be constructed by directly prompting LLMs. Specifically, we transform the zero-shot IE task into a multi-turn question-answering problem with a two-stage framework (ChatIE). With the power of ChatGPT, we extensively evaluate our framework on three IE tasks: entity-relation triple extract, named entity recognition, and event extraction. Empirical results on six datasets across two languages show that ChatIE achieves impressive performance and even surpasses some full-shot models on several datasets (e.g., NYT11-HRL). We believe that our work could shed light on building IE models with limited resources

Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead

Attention mechanism-based locally connected network for accurate and stable reconstruction in Cerenkov luminescence tomography

Cerenkov luminescence tomography (CLT) is a novel and highly sensitive imaging technique, which could obtain the three-dimensional distribution of radioactive probes to achieve accurate tumor detection. However, the simplified radiative transfer equation and ill-conditioned inverse problem cause a reconstruction error. In this study, a novel attention mechanism based locally connected (AMLC) network was proposed to reduce barycenter error and improve morphological restorability. The proposed AMLC network consisted of two main parts: a fully connected sub-network for providing a coarse reconstruction result, and a locally connected sub-network based on an attention matrix for refinement. Both numerical simulations and in vivo experiments were conducted to show the superiority of the AMLC network in accuracy and stability over existing methods (MFCNN, KNN-LC network). This method improved CLT reconstruction performance and promoted the application of machine learning in optical imaging research.</jats:p
