Enhancing Performance in Medical Articles Summarization with Multi-Feature Selection
The research aimed at providing an outcome summary of extraordinary events information for public health surveillance systems based on the extraction of online medical articles. The data set used is 7,346 pieces. Characteristics possessed by online medical articles include paragraphs that comprise more than one and the core location of the story or important sentences scattered at the beginning, middle and end of a paragraph. Therefore, this study conducted a summary by maintaining important phrases related to the information of extraordinary events scattered in every paragraph in the medical article online. The summary method used is maximal marginal relevance with an n-best value of 0.7. While the multi feature selection in question is the use of features to improve the performance of the summary system. The first feature selection is the use of title and statistic number of word and noun occurrence, and weighting tf-idf. In addition, other features are word level category in medical content patterns to identify important sentences of each paragraph in the online medical article. The important sentences defined in this study are classified into three categories: core sentence, explanatory sentence, and supporting sentence. The system test in this study was divided into two categories, such as extrinsic and intrinsic test. Extrinsic test is comparing the summary results of the decisions made by the experts with the output resulting from the system. While intrinsic test compared three n-Best weighting value method, feature selection combination, and combined feature selection combination with word level category in medical content. The extrinsic evaluation result was 72%. While intrinsic evaluation result of feature selection combination merger method with word category in medical content was 91,6% for precision, 92,6% for recall and f-measure was 92,2%

Aversion and attraction to harmful plant secondary compounds jointly shape the foraging ecology of a specialist herbivore.
Most herbivorous insect species are restricted to a narrow taxonomic range of host plant species. Herbivore species that feed on mustard plants and their relatives in the Brassicales have evolved highly efficient detoxification mechanisms that actually prevent toxic mustard oils from forming in the bodies of the animals. However, these mechanisms likely were not present during the initial stages of specialization on mustard plants ~100 million years ago. The herbivorous fly Scaptomyza nigrita (Drosophilidae) is a specialist on a single mustard species, bittercress (Cardamine cordifolia; Brassicaceae) and is in a fly lineage that evolved to feed on mustards only in the past 10-20 million years. In contrast to many mustard specialists, S. nigrita does not prevent formation of toxic breakdown products (mustard oils) arising from glucosinolates (GLS), the primary defensive compounds in mustard plants. Therefore, it is an appealing model for dissecting the early stages of host specialization. Because mustard oils actually form in the bodies of S. nigrita, we hypothesized that in lieu of a specialized detoxification mechanism, S. nigrita may mitigate exposure to high GLS levels within plant tissues using behavioral avoidance. Here, we report that jasmonic acid (JA) treatment increased GLS biosynthesis in bittercress, repelled adult female flies, and reduced larval growth. S. nigrita larval damage also induced foliar GLS, especially in apical leaves, which correspondingly displayed the least S. nigrita damage in controlled feeding trials and field surveys. Paradoxically, flies preferred to feed and oviposit on GLS-producing Arabidopsis thaliana despite larvae performing worse in these plants versus non-GLS-producing mutants. GLS may be feeding cues for S. nigrita despite their deterrent and defensive properties, which underscores the diverse relationship a mustard specialist has with its host when lacking a specialized means of mustard oil detoxification
Information Extraction in Illicit Domains
Extracting useful entities and attribute values from illicit domains such as
human trafficking is a challenging problem with the potential for widespread
social impact. Such domains employ atypical language models, have `long tails'
and suffer from the problem of concept drift. In this paper, we propose a
lightweight, feature-agnostic Information Extraction (IE) paradigm specifically
designed for such domains. Our approach uses raw, unlabeled text from an
initial corpus, and a few (12-120) seed annotations per domain-specific
attribute, to learn robust IE models for unobserved pages and websites.
Empirically, we demonstrate that our approach can outperform feature-centric
Conditional Random Field baselines by over 18\% F-Measure on five annotated
sets of real-world human trafficking datasets in both low-supervision and
high-supervision settings. We also show that our approach is demonstrably
robust to concept drift, and can be efficiently bootstrapped even in a serial
computing environment.Comment: 10 pages, ACM WWW 201

Advanced recommendations in a mobile tourist information system
An advanced tourist information provider system delivers information regarding sights and events on their users' travel route. In order to give sophisticated personalized information about tourist attractions to their users, the system is required to consider base data which are user preferences defined in their user profiles, user context, sights context, user travel history as well as their feedback given to the sighs they have visited. In
addition to sights information, recommendation on sights to the user could also be provided. This project concentrates on combinations of knowledge on recommendation systems and base information given by the users to build a recommendation component in the Tourist Information Provider or TIP system. To accomplish our goal, we not only examine several tourist information systems but also conduct the investigation on recommendation systems. We propose a number of approaches for advanced recommendation models in a tourist information system and select a subset of these for implementation to prove the concept
