Journal ArticleDOI

Opportunities and obstacles for deep learning in biology and medicine.

TL;DR: It is found that deep learning has yet to revolutionize biomedicine or definitively resolve any of the most pressing challenges in the field, but promising advances have been made on the prior state of the art.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precision Lasso: accounting for correlations and linear dependencies in high-dimensional genomic data.

TL;DR: The Precision Lasso is a Lasso variant that promotes sparse variable selection by regularization governed by the covariance and inverse covariance matrices of explanatory variables that outperforms popular methods of variable selection such as the Lasso, the Elastic Net and Minimax Concave Penalty regression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental and computational mutagenesis to investigate the positioning of a general base within an enzyme active site.

TL;DR: Recognizing the extent, type, and energetic interconnectivity of interactions that contribute to positioning catalytic groups has implications for enzyme evolution and may help reveal the nature and extent of interactions required to design enzymes that rival those found in biology.
Proceedings Article

Retrofitting Distributional Embeddings to Knowledge Graphs with Functional Relations

TL;DR: Functional retrofitting as mentioned in this paper generalizes current retrofitting methods by explicitly modeling pairwise relations, which can directly incorporate a variety of pairwise penalty functions previously developed for knowledge graph completion and allow users to encode, learn, and extract information about relation semantics.
