OASYS: Domain-Agnostic Automated System for Constructing Knowledge Base from Unstructured Text

In recent years, creating and managing knowledge bases have become crucial to the retail product and enterprise domains. We present an automatic knowledge base construction system that mines data from documents. This system can generate training data during the training process without human intervention. Therefore, it is domain-agnostic trainable using only the target domain text corpus and a pre-defined knowledge base. This system is called OASYS and is the first system built with the Korean language in mind. In addition, we also have constructed a new human-annotated benchmark dataset of the Korean Wikipedia corpus paired with a Korean DBpedia to aid system evaluation. The system performance results on human-annotated benchmark test dataset are meaningful and show that the generated knowledge base from OASYS trained on only auto-generated data is useful. We provide both a human-annotated test dataset and an auto-generated dataset.Comment: ACM SIGKDD Workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs 2022, Accepte

Full-length cDNA sequences from Rhesus monkey placenta tissue: analysis and utility for comparative mapping

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Rhesus monkeys (<it>Macaca mulatta</it>) are widely-used as experimental animals in biomedical research and are closely related to other laboratory macaques, such as cynomolgus monkeys (<it>Macaca </it><it>fascicularis</it>), and to humans, sharing a last common ancestor from about 25 million years ago. Although rhesus monkeys have been studied extensively under field and laboratory conditions, research has been limited by the lack of genetic resources. The present study generated placenta full-length cDNA libraries, characterized the resulting expressed sequence tags, and described their utility for comparative mapping with human RefSeq mRNA transcripts.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>From rhesus monkey placenta full-length cDNA libraries, 2000 full-length cDNA sequences were determined and 1835 rhesus placenta cDNA sequences longer than 100 bp were collected. These sequences were annotated based on homology to human genes. Homology search against human RefSeq mRNAs revealed that our collection included the sequences of 1462 putative rhesus monkey genes. Moreover, we identified 207 genes containing exon alterations in the coding region and the untranslated region of rhesus monkey transcripts, despite the highly conserved structure of the coding regions. Approximately 10% (187) of all full-length cDNA sequences did not represent any public human RefSeq mRNAs. Intriguingly, two rhesus monkey specific exons derived from the transposable elements of AluYRa2 (SINE family) and MER11B (LTR family) were also identified.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The 1835 rhesus monkey placenta full-length cDNA sequences described here could expand genomic resources and information of rhesus monkeys. This increased genomic information will greatly contribute to the development of evolutionary biology and biomedical research.</p

Suppression of magnetic ordering in XXZ-type antiferromagnetic monolayer NiPS3

How a certain ground state of complex physical systems emerges, especially in two-dimensional materials, is a fundamental question in condensed-matter physics. A particularly interesting case is systems belonging to the class of XY Hamiltonian where the magnetic order parameter of conventional nature is unstable in two-dimensional materials leading to a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. Here, we report how the XXZ-type antiferromagnetic order of a magnetic van der Waals material, NiPS3, behaves upon reducing the thickness and ultimately becomes unstable in the monolayer limit. Our experimental data are consistent with the findings based on renormalization group theory that at low temperatures a two-dimensional XXZ system behaves like a two-dimensional XY one, which cannot have a long-range order at finite temperatures. This work provides experimental examination of the XY magnetism in the atomically thin limit and opens new opportunities of exploiting these fundamental theorems of magnetism using magnetic van der Waals materials.Comment: 57 pages, 24 figures (including Supplementary Information

Effect of N-substitution in naphthalenediimides on the electrochemical performance of organic rechargeable batteries

We have demonstrated that even small structural variations on the imide nitrogens of naphthalenediimides bearing identical Li-ion binding sites can cause dramatic effects in the performance of organic rechargeable batteries. In particular, naphthalenedimide dilithium salt showed excellent cycling with a capacity of 130 mA h g(-1) at potentials as high as 2.5 V vs. Li/Li+.

The enhancer activity of long interspersed nuclear element derived microRNA 625 induced by NF-κB

Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that cut or introduced into the genome, and they represent a massive portion of the human genome. TEs generate a considerable number of microRNAs (miRNAs) are derived from TEs (MDTEs). Numerous miRNAs are related to cancer, and hsa-miRNA-625 is a well-known oncomiR derived from long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs). The relative expression of hsa-miRNA-625-5p differs in humans, chimpanzees, crab-eating monkeys, and mice, and four primers were designed against the 3′UTR of GATAD2B to analyze the different quantities of canonical binding sites and the location of miRNA binding sites. Luciferase assay was performed to score for the interaction between hsa-miRNA-625 and the 3′UTR of GATAD2B, while blocking NF-κB. In summary, the different numbers of canonical binding sites and the locations of miRNA binding sites affect gene expression, and NF-κB induces the enhancer activity of hsa-miRNA-625-5p by sharing the binding sites
