A Re-ranking Model for Dependency Parser with Recursive Convolutional Neural Network
In this work, we address the problem to model all the nodes (words or
phrases) in a dependency tree with the dense representations. We propose a
recursive convolutional neural network (RCNN) architecture to capture syntactic
and compositional-semantic representations of phrases and words in a dependency
tree. Different with the original recursive neural network, we introduce the
convolution and pooling layers, which can model a variety of compositions by
the feature maps and choose the most informative compositions by the pooling
layers. Based on RCNN, we use a discriminative model to re-rank a -best list
of candidate dependency parsing trees. The experiments show that RCNN is very
effective to improve the state-of-the-art dependency parsing on both English
and Chinese datasets
Practical Resource Allocation Algorithms for QoS in OFDMA-based Wireless Systems
In this work we propose an efficient resource allocation algorithm for OFDMA
based wireless systems supporting heterogeneous traffic. The proposed algorithm
provides proportionally fairness to data users and short term rate guarantees
to real-time users. Based on the QoS requirements, buffer occupancy and channel
conditions, we propose a scheme for rate requirement determination for delay
constrained sessions. Then we formulate and solve the proportional fair rate
allocation problem subject to those rate requirements and power/bandwidth
constraints. Simulations results show that the proposed algorithm provides
significant improvement with respect to the benchmark algorithm.Comment: To be presented at 2nd IEEE International Broadband Wireless Access

Fast Adaptive S-ALOHA Scheme for Event-driven Machine-to-Machine Communications
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication is now playing a market-changing role
in a wide range of business world. However, in event-driven M2M communications,
a large number of devices activate within a short period of time, which in turn
causes high radio congestions and severe access delay. To address this issue,
we propose a Fast Adaptive S-ALOHA (FASA) scheme for M2M communication systems
with bursty traffic. The statistics of consecutive idle and collision slots,
rather than the observation in a single slot, are used in FASA to accelerate
the tracking process of network status. Furthermore, the fast convergence
property of FASA is guaranteed by using drift analysis. Simulation results
demonstrate that the proposed FASA scheme achieves near-optimal performance in
reducing access delay, which outperforms that of traditional additive schemes
such as PB-ALOHA. Moreover, compared to multiplicative schemes, FASA shows its
robustness even under heavy traffic load in addition to better delay
performance.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, accepted to IEEE VTC2012-Fal

Drug Discovery from Diverse Bacteria – Bioactivity-guided Isolation of Known and New Metabolites
Exploring bioactive natural products has contributed largely to clinically approved drugs we have been using over the last 100 years. Especially among the anti-infective drugs, around 70% of currently used antibiotics were discovered or derived from microbial secondary metabolites, among them compounds like vancomycin, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin. Facing the unavoidable fact of microbial drug resistance and low cure rate of cancers, exploring new drug leads is essential and urgent.
Drug discovery from microbial sources has just scratched the surface: recent surveys have shown that bacterial genomes are filled with genes encoding for secondary metabolites, that have not been seen in the laboratory, and that unique environments and underexplored biodiverse niches can yield new bacterial species with unique chemotypes. Bioactivity-guided isolation with dereplication is still an efficient method used in the laboratory to discover new bioactive compounds.
This thesis includes the details on isolation of bacterial strains from diverse environments, bioactivity-guided fractionation, and dereplication/characterization of isolated metabolites. Bacterial strain library, consisting ~400 bacteria, was established in Loesgen Lab. The protocols of bacterial isolation from terrestrial and marine sources, the workflow of methods for chemical and bioactivity screening, and dereplication methods are presented. Approximately 50% of the bacterial strains have been extracted, fractionated and tested for cytotoxicity against a colon cancer cell line. Projects were prioritized based on the chemical and bioactivity screening results. An investigation of 19 bacterial strains from Oregonian soils yielded twelve known metabolites and two new natural products, a new tetrapeptide from Streptomyces sp. and a new chromone from Paraburkholderia sp. Their absolute configuration was established via advanced Marfey’s analysis and X-ray crystallography. Besides, an unusual cytotoxic diterpenoid was discovered from Streptomyces flaveolus, featuring five chiral centers and two double bond geometries within a fused bicyclo[8.4.0]tetradecane macrocycle. The metabolite existed in two distinct ring-flipped conformers in solution and its absolute configuration was determined by Mosher ester analysis, J-based coupling analysis, and DFT modeling
On NIS-Apriori Based Data Mining in SQL
We have proposed a framework of Rough Non-deterministic Information Analysis (RNIA) for tables with non-deterministic information, and applied RNIA to analyzing tables with uncertainty. We have also developed the RNIA software tool in Prolog and getRNIA in Python, in addition to these two tools we newly consider the RNIA software tool in SQL for handling large size data sets. This paper reports the current state of the prototype named NIS-Apriori in SQL, which will afford us more convenient environment for data analysis.International Joint Conference on Rough Sets (IJCRS 2016), October 7-11, 2016, Santiago, Chil
Fair Scheduling in OFDMA-based Wireless Systems with QoS Constraints
In this work we consider the problem of downlink resource allocation for
proportional fairness of long term received rates of data users and quality of
service for real time sessions in an OFDMA-based wireless system. The base
station allocates available power and bandwidth to individual users based on
long term average received rates, QoS based rate constraints and channel
conditions. We solve the underlying constrained optimization problem and
propose an algorithm that achieves the optimal allocation. Numerical evaluation
results show that the proposed algorithm provides better QoS to voice and video
sessions while providing more and fair rates to data users in comparison with
existing schemes.Comment: Presented at International OFDM Workshop, Hamburg Germany on Aug.

A comprehensive study of non-adaptive and residual-based adaptive sampling for physics-informed neural networks
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have shown to be an effective tool
for solving forward and inverse problems of partial differential equations
(PDEs). PINNs embed the PDEs into the loss of the neural network, and this PDE
loss is evaluated at a set of scattered residual points. The distribution of
these points are highly important to the performance of PINNs. However, in the
existing studies on PINNs, only a few simple residual point sampling methods
have mainly been used. Here, we present a comprehensive study of two categories
of sampling: non-adaptive uniform sampling and adaptive nonuniform sampling. We
consider six uniform sampling, including (1) equispaced uniform grid, (2)
uniformly random sampling, (3) Latin hypercube sampling, (4) Halton sequence,
(5) Hammersley sequence, and (6) Sobol sequence. We also consider a resampling
strategy for uniform sampling. To improve the sampling efficiency and the
accuracy of PINNs, we propose two new residual-based adaptive sampling methods:
residual-based adaptive distribution (RAD) and residual-based adaptive
refinement with distribution (RAR-D), which dynamically improve the
distribution of residual points based on the PDE residuals during training.
Hence, we have considered a total of 10 different sampling methods, including
six non-adaptive uniform sampling, uniform sampling with resampling, two
proposed adaptive sampling, and an existing adaptive sampling. We extensively
tested the performance of these sampling methods for four forward problems and
two inverse problems in many setups. Our numerical results presented in this
study are summarized from more than 6000 simulations of PINNs. We show that the
proposed adaptive sampling methods of RAD and RAR-D significantly improve the
accuracy of PINNs with fewer residual points. The results obtained in this
study can also be used as a practical guideline in choosing sampling methods
