There was another lab working on our “favorite” protein. Not in our building, and not even in our time zone but our questions and models were quite similar. We knew of them through the usual channels: their publications, conference talks. And I do believe they knew of our extensive work too. So when their next paper came out, it was surprising to see that none of our lab’s work was cited. Their omission was not an error.

Multilateral price indexes are often used to measure the evolution of prices over time when there are large volumes of transaction data, such as retail scanner data or housing data. The main challenge with computing multilateral indexes with large amounts of data is that these indexes often depend on a matrix where the dimensions are at least as large as the number of products.

Earlier this week, a question was asked on OBO Foundry Slack on where to find semantic mappings to terms in the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT). While some are available in the SeMRA Disease Mappings Database, there are many more available within BioPortal, which has access to the entire SNOMED-CT source data and has produced semantic mapping predictions using LOOM.

Hype, slop, craft: the evolutionary ecology of AI There’s a patch of ground near Chernobyl that botanists call Рудий ліс, the Red Forest. In the immediate aftermath of the 1986 disaster, 1 the radiation killed mostly everything, turning the pine trees a rust-red colour before they died. That’s poetic, but hardly unexpected – not even Polesian pines can withstand a firehose of low enriched uranium decay products.
