Complex and dynamic transcriptional changes allow the helminth Fasciola gigantica to adjust to its intermediate snail and definitive mammalian hosts.
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2019-10-12)The tropical liver fluke, Fasciola gigantica causes fasciolosis, an important disease of humans and livestock. We characterized dynamic transcriptional changes associated with the development of the parasite in its two ... -
Towards electronic lexicography for the Kurdish language
(eLex 2019, 2019-10-01)This paper describes the development of lexicographic resources for Kurdish and provides a lexical model for this language. Kurdish is considered a less-resourced language, and currently, lacks machine-readable lexical ... -
The ELEXIS interface for interoperable lexical resources
(eLex 2019, 2019-10-01)ELEXIS is a project that aims to create a European network of lexical resources, and one of the key challenges for this is the development of an interoperable interface for different lexical resources so that further ... -
A decade of Semantic Web research through the lenses of a mixed methods approach
(IOS Press, 2019-06-20)The identification of research topics and trends is an important scientometric activity, as it can help guide the direction of future research. In the Semantic Web area, initially topic and trend detection was primarily ... -
Towards sharing task environments to support reproducible evaluations of interactive recommender systems
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-20)Beyond sharing datasets or simulations, we believe the Recommender Systems (RS) community should share Task Environments. In this work, we propose a high-level logical architecture that will help to reason about the core ... -
BEARS: Towards an evaluation framework for bandit-based interactive recommender systems
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-06)Recommender Systems (RS) deployed in fast-paced dynamic scenarios must quickly learn to adapt in response to user evaluative feedback. In these settings, the RS faces an online learning problem where each decision should ... -
Brain haemorrhage detection through SVM classification of electrical impedance tomography measurements
(Springer, Cham, 2019-08-28)A brain haemorrhage constitutes a serious medical scenario with a need for rapid, accurate detection to facilitate treatment initiation. Machine learning (ML) techniques applied to such medical diagnostic problems can ... -
WordNet gloss translation for under-resourced languages using multilingual neural machine translation
(European Association for Machine Translation, 2019-08-19)In this paper, we translate the glosses in the English WordNet based on the expand approach for improving and generating wordnets with the help of multilingual neural machine translation. Neural Machine Translation (NMT) ... -
Multilingual multimodal machine translation for Dravidian languages utilizing phonetic transcription
(European Association for Machine Translation, 2019-08-19)Multimodal machine translation is the task of translating from a source text into the target language using information from other modalities. Existing multimodal datasets have been restricted to only highly resourced ... -
Neural machine translation of literary texts from English to Slovene
(Machine Translation Summit 2019, 2019-08-19)Neural Machine Translation has shown promising performance in literary texts. Since literary machine translation has not yet been researched for the English-toSlovene translation direction, this paper aims to fulfill ... -
Comparing areas of commonality and distinction between the national practice models of Meitheal and Signs of Safety
(UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2018-09)In this report, a characterisation is provided on the central elements/principles that are contained within the Meitheal and the Child and Family Support Networks and Signs of Safety practice models. Both represent two ... -
Discovering protein drug targets using knowledge graph embeddings
(Oxford University Press, 2019-08-01)Motivation Computational approaches for predicting drug-target interactions (DTIs) can provide valuable insights into the drug mechanism of action. DTI predictions can help to quickly identify new promising (on-target) ... -
State must allow institutionalised people access to personal files
(Irish Times, 2019-01-08)his year, politicians must do what is right by survivors and family members of deceased victims of all forms of so-called historical abuse in Ireland. It is a milestone year. The Mother and Baby Homes Commission of ... -
Inefficiency in macromolecular transport of SCS‐based microcapsules affects viability of primary human mesenchymal stem cells but not of immortalized cells
(Wiley, 2015-05-01)Microcapsules made of sodium cellulose sulphate (SCS) and poly-diallyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride (pDADMAC) have been employed to encapsulate a wide range of established cell lines for several applications. However, little ... -
Biodistribution and retention of locally administered human mesenchymal stromal cells: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction–based detection of human DNA in murine organs
(Elsevier, 2017-01-12)Background. Determining the distributive fate and retention of a cell therapy product after administration is an essential part of characterizing it's biosafety profile. Therefore, regulatory guidelines stipulate that ... -
