IEnhancer-EBLSTM: Identifying Enhancers and Strengths by Ensembles of Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory.

ABSTRACT: Enhancers are regulatory DNA sequences that could be bound by specific proteins named transcription factors (TFs). The interactions between enhancers and TFs regulate specific genes by increasing the target gene expression. Therefore, enhancer identification and classification have been a critical issue in the enhancer field. Unfortunately, so far there has been a lack of suitable methods to identify enhancers. Previous research has mainly focused on the features of the enhancer's function and interactions, which ignores the sequence information. As we know, the recurrent neural network (RNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models are currently the most common methods for processing time series data. LSTM is more suitable than RNN to address the DNA sequence. In this paper, we take the advantages of LSTM to build a method named iEnhancer-EBLSTM to identify enhancers. iEnhancer-ensembles of bidirectional LSTM (EBLSTM) consists of two steps. In the first step, we extract subsequences by sliding a 3-mer window along the DNA sequence as features. Second, EBLSTM model is used to identify enhancers from the candidate input sequences. We use the dataset from the study of Quang H et al. as the benchmarks. The experimental results from the datasets demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed model.

Protein remote homology detection based on bidirectional long short-term memory.

Project description:BackgroundProtein remote homology detection plays a vital role in studies of protein structures and functions. Almost all of the traditional machine leaning methods require fixed length features to represent the protein sequences. However, it is never an easy task to extract the discriminative features with limited knowledge of proteins. On the other hand, deep learning technique has demonstrated its advantage in automatically learning representations. It is worthwhile to explore the applications of deep learning techniques to the protein remote homology detection.ResultsIn this study, we employ the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) to learn effective features from pseudo proteins, also propose a predictor called ProDec-BLSTM: it includes input layer, bidirectional LSTM, time distributed dense layer and output layer. This neural network can automatically extract the discriminative features by using bidirectional LSTM and the time distributed dense layer.ConclusionExperimental results on a widely-used benchmark dataset show that ProDec-BLSTM outperforms other related methods in terms of both the mean ROC and mean ROC50 scores. This promising result shows that ProDec-BLSTM is a useful tool for protein remote homology detection. Furthermore, the hidden patterns learnt by ProDec-BLSTM can be interpreted and visualized, and therefore, additional useful information can be obtained.

Application of bidirectional long short-term memory network for prediction of cognitive age.

Project description:Electroencephalography (EEG) measures changes in neuronal activity and can reveal significant changes from infancy to adulthood concomitant with brain maturation, making it a potential physiological marker of brain maturation and cognition. To investigate a promising deep learning tool for EEG classification, we applied the bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) algorithm to analyze EEG data from the pediatric EEG laboratory of Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. The trained BLSTM model was 86% accurate when identifying EEGs from young children (8 months-6 years) and adolescents (12-20 years). However, there was only a modest classification accuracy (69.3%) when categorizing EEG samples into three age groups (8 months-6 years, 6-12 years, and 12-20 years). For EEG samples from patients with intellectual disability, the prediction accuracy of the trained BLSTM model was 46.4%, which was significantly lower than its accuracy for EEGs from neurotypical patients, indicating that the individual's intelligence plays a major role in the age prediction. This study confirmed that scalp EEG can reflect brain maturation and the BLSTM algorithm is a feasible deep learning tool for the identification of cognitive age. The trained model can potentially be applied to clinical services as a supportive measurement of neurodevelopmental status.

Relation extraction in Chinese using attention-based bidirectional long short-term memory networks.

Project description:Relation extraction is an important topic in information extraction, as it is used to create large-scale knowledge graphs for a variety of downstream applications. Its goal is to find and extract semantic links between entity pairs in natural language sentences. Deep learning has substantially advanced neural relation extraction, allowing for the autonomous learning of semantic features. We offer an effective Chinese relation extraction model that uses bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM) and an attention mechanism to extract crucial semantic information from phrases without relying on domain knowledge from lexical resources or language systems in this study. The attention mechanism included into the Bi-LSTM network allows for automatic focus on key words. Two benchmark datasets were used to create and test our models: Chinese SanWen and FinRE. The experimental results show that the SanWen dataset model outperforms the FinRE dataset model, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of 0.70 and 0.50, respectively. The models trained on the SanWen and FinRE datasets achieve values of 0.44 and 0.19, respectively, for the area under the precision-recall curve. In addition, the results of repeated modeling experiments indicated that our proposed method was robust and reproducible.

Time series forecasting of weight for diuretic dose adjustment using bidirectional long short-term memory.

Project description:Loop diuretics are prevailing drugs to manage fluid overload in heart failure. However, adjusting to loop diuretic doses is strenuous due to the lack of a diuretic guideline. Accordingly, we developed a novel clinician decision support system for adjusting loop diuretics dosage with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm using time-series EMRs. Weight measurements were used as the target to estimate fluid loss during diuretic therapy. We designed the TSFD-LSTM, a bi-directional LSTM model with an attention mechanism, to forecast weight change 48 h after heart failure patients were injected with loop diuretics. The model utilized 65 variables, including disease conditions, concurrent medications, laboratory results, vital signs, and physical measurements from EMRs. The framework processed four sequences simultaneously as inputs. An ablation study on attention mechanisms and a comparison with the transformer model as a baseline were conducted. The TSFD-LSTM outperformed the other models, achieving 85% predictive accuracy with MAE and MSE values of 0.56 and 1.45, respectively. Thus, the TSFD-LSTM model can aid in personalized loop diuretic treatment and prevent adverse drug events, contributing to improved healthcare efficacy for heart failure patients.

Convolutional Neural Network and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory-Based Method for Predicting Drug-Disease Associations.

Project description:Identifying novel indications for approved drugs can accelerate drug development and reduce research costs. Most previous studies used shallow models for prioritizing the potential drug-related diseases and failed to deeply integrate the paths between drugs and diseases which may contain additional association information. A deep-learning-based method for predicting drug-disease associations by integrating useful information is needed. We proposed a novel method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM)-CBPred-for predicting drug-related diseases. Our method deeply integrates similarities and associations between drugs and diseases, and paths among drug-disease pairs. The CNN-based framework focuses on learning the original representation of a drug-disease pair from their similarities and associations. As the drug-disease association possibility also depends on the multiple paths between them, the BiLSTM-based framework mainly learns the path representation of the drug-disease pair. In addition, considering that different paths have discriminate contributions to the association prediction, an attention mechanism at path level is constructed. Our method, CBPred, showed better performance and retrieved more real associations in the front of the results, which is more important for biologists. Case studies further confirmed that CBPred can discover potential drug-disease associations.

Competitive short-term and long-term memory processes in spatial habituation.

Project description:Exposure to a spatial location leads to habituation of exploration such that, in a novelty preference test, rodents subsequently prefer exploring a novel location to the familiar location. According to Wagner's (1981) theory of memory, short-term and long-term habituation are caused by separate and sometimes opponent processes. In the present study, this dual-process account of memory was tested. Mice received a series of exposure training trials to a location before receiving a novelty preference test. The novelty preference was greater when tested after a short, rather than a long, interval. In contrast, the novelty preference was weaker when exposure training trials were separated by a short, rather than a long interval. Furthermore, it was found that long-term habituation was determined by the independent effects of the amount of exposure training and the number of exposure training trials when factors such as the intertrial interval and the cumulative intertrial interval were controlled. A final experiment demonstrated that a long-term reduction of exploration could be caused by a negative priming effect due to associations formed during exploration. These results provide evidence against a single-process account of habituation and suggest that spatial habituation is determined by both short-term, recency-based memory and long-term, incrementally strengthened memory.

Identifying Long- and Short-Term Processes in Perceptual Learning.

Project description:Practice makes perfect in almost all perceptual tasks, but how perceptual improvements accumulate remains unknown. Here, we developed a multicomponent theoretical framework to model contributions of both long- and short-term processes in perceptual learning. Applications of the framework to the block-by-block learning curves of 49 adult participants in seven perceptual tasks identified ubiquitous long-term general learning and within-session relearning in most tasks. More importantly, we also found between-session forgetting in the vernier-offset discrimination, face-view discrimination, and auditory-frequency discrimination tasks; between-session off-line gain in the visual shape search task; and within-session adaptation and both between-session forgetting and off-line gain in the contrast detection task. The main results of the vernier-offset discrimination and visual shape search tasks were replicated in a new experiment. The multicomponent model provides a theoretical framework to identify component processes in perceptual learning and a potential tool to optimize learning in normal and clinical populations.

Software defect prediction using hybrid model (CBIL) of convolutional neural network (CNN) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM).

Project description:In recent years, the software industry has invested substantial effort to improve software quality in organizations. Applying proactive software defect prediction will help developers and white box testers to find the defects earlier, and this will reduce the time and effort. Traditional software defect prediction models concentrate on traditional features of source code including code complexity, lines of code, etc. However, these features fail to extract the semantics of source code. In this research, we propose a hybrid model that is called CBIL. CBIL can predict the defective areas of source code. It extracts Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) tokens as vectors from source code. Mapping and word embedding turn integer vectors into dense vectors. Then, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) extracts the semantics of AST tokens. After that, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) keeps key features and ignores other features in order to enhance the accuracy of software defect prediction. The proposed model CBIL is evaluated on a sample of seven open-source Java projects of the PROMISE dataset. CBIL is evaluated by applying the following evaluation metrics: F-measure and area under the curve (AUC). The results display that CBIL model improves the average of F-measure by 25% compared to CNN, as CNN accomplishes the top performance among the selected baseline models. In average of AUC, CBIL model improves AUC by 18% compared to Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), as RNN accomplishes the top performance among the selected baseline models used in the experiments.

Discovery of active enhancers through bidirectional expression of short transcripts.

Project description:BackgroundLong-range regulatory elements, such as enhancers, exert substantial control over tissue-specific gene expression patterns. Genome-wide discovery of functional enhancers in different cell types is important for our understanding of genome function as well as human disease etiology.ResultsIn this study, we developed an in silico approach to model the previously reported phenomenon of transcriptional pausing, accompanied by divergent transcription, at active promoters. We then used this model for large-scale prediction of non-promoter-associated bidirectional expression of short transcripts. Our predictions were significantly enriched for DNase hypersensitive sites, histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac), and other chromatin marks associated with active rather than poised or repressed enhancers. We also detected modest bidirectional expression at binding sites of the CCCTC-factor (CTCF) genome-wide, particularly those that overlap H3K27ac.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that the signature of bidirectional expression of short transcripts, learned from promoter-proximal transcriptional pausing, can be used to predict active long-range regulatory elements genome-wide, likely due in part to specific association of RNA polymerase with enhancer regions.

Short- and long-term memory of moving amoeboid cells.

Project description:Amoeboid cells constantly change shape and extend protrusions. The direction of movement is not random, but is correlated with the direction of movement in the preceding minutes. The basis of this correlation is an underlying memory of direction. The presence of memory in movement is known for many decades, but its molecular mechanism is still largely unknown. This study reports in detail on the information content of directional memory, the kinetics of learning and forgetting this information, and the molecular basis for memory using Dictyostelium mutants. Two types of memory were characterized. A short-term memory stores for ~20 seconds the position of the last pseudopod using a local modification of the branched F-actin inducer SCAR/WAVE, which enhances one new pseudopod to be formed at the position of the previous pseudopod. A long term memory stores for ~2 minutes the activity of the last ~10 pseudopods using a cGMP-binding protein that induces myosin filaments in the rear of the cell; this inhibits pseudopods in the rear and thereby enhances pseudopods in the global front. Similar types of memory were identified in human neutrophils and mesenchymal stem cells, the protist Dictyostelium and the fungus B.d. chytrid. The synergy of short- and long-term memory explains their role in persistent movement for enhanced cell dispersal, food seeking and chemotaxis.
