Extracting Biomolecular Interactions Using Semantic Parsing of Biomedical Text
We advance the state of the art in biomolecular interaction extraction with
three contributions: (i) We show that deep, Abstract Meaning Representations
(AMR) significantly improve the accuracy of a biomolecular interaction
extraction system when compared to a baseline that relies solely on surface-
and syntax-based features; (ii) In contrast with previous approaches that infer
relations on a sentence-by-sentence basis, we expand our framework to enable
consistent predictions over sets of sentences (documents); (iii) We further
modify and expand a graph kernel learning framework to enable concurrent
exploitation of automatically induced AMR (semantic) and dependency structure
(syntactic) representations. Our experiments show that our approach yields
interaction extraction systems that are more robust in environments where there
is a significant mismatch between training and test conditions.Comment: Appearing in Proceedings of the Thirtieth AAAI Conference on

An Energy-driven Network Function Virtualization for Multi-domain Software Defined Networks
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in Software Defined Networks (SDN)
emerged as a new technology for creating virtual instances for smooth execution
of multiple applications. Their amalgamation provides flexible and programmable
platforms to utilize the network resources for providing Quality of Service
(QoS) to various applications. In SDN-enabled NFV setups, the underlying
network services can be viewed as a series of virtual network functions (VNFs)
and their optimal deployment on physical/virtual nodes is considered a
challenging task to perform. However, SDNs have evolved from single-domain to
multi-domain setups in the recent era. Thus, the complexity of the underlying
VNF deployment problem in multi-domain setups has increased manifold. Moreover,
the energy utilization aspect is relatively unexplored with respect to an
optimal mapping of VNFs across multiple SDN domains. Hence, in this work, the
VNF deployment problem in multi-domain SDN setup has been addressed with a
primary emphasis on reducing the overall energy consumption for deploying the
maximum number of VNFs with guaranteed QoS. The problem in hand is initially
formulated as a "Multi-objective Optimization Problem" based on Integer Linear
Programming (ILP) to obtain an optimal solution. However, the formulated ILP
becomes complex to solve with an increasing number of decision variables and
constraints with an increase in the size of the network. Thus, we leverage the
benefits of the popular evolutionary optimization algorithms to solve the
problem under consideration. In order to deduce the most appropriate
evolutionary optimization algorithm to solve the considered problem, it is
subjected to different variants of evolutionary algorithms on the widely used
MOEA framework (an open source java framework based on multi-objective
evolutionary algorithms).Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Intelligent
