Empirical Co-occurrence Rate Networks for Sequence Labeling [PDF]
Structured prediction has wide applications in many areas. Powerful and popular models for structured prediction have been developed. Despite the successes, they suffer from some known problems: (i) Hidden Markov models are generative models which suffer from the mismatch problem.

Semantic Concept Co-Occurrence Patterns for Image Annotation and Retrieval. [PDF]
Describing visual image contents by semantic concepts is an effective and straightforward way to facilitate various high level applications. Inferring semantic concepts from low-level pictorial feature analysis is challenging due to the semantic gap ...

Measuring similarity in co-occurrence data using ego-networks [PDF]
The co-occurrence association is widely observed in many empirical data. Mining the information in co-occurrence data is essential for advancing our understanding of systems such as social networks, ecosystems, and brain networks. Measuring similarity of entities is one of the important tasks, which can usually be achieved using a network-based ...

Structure of a Media Co-occurrence Network [PDF]
Social networks have been of much interest in recent years. We here focus on a network structure derived from co-occurrences of people in traditional newspaper media. We find three clear deviations from what can be expected in a random graph. First, the average degree in the empirical network is much lower than expected, and the average weight of a ...

Difficulty in inferring microbial community structure based on co-occurrence network approaches
Background Co-occurrence networks—ecological associations between sampled populations of microbial communities inferred from taxonomic composition data obtained from high-throughput sequencing techniques—are widely used in microbial ecology.

Co-occurrence network of TV advertisements revealing Japanese lifestyle
The relationship between culture and the appeals in TV advertisements has been extensively studied. We attempted to reveal the image structure produced by TV commercials in Japan, which may show the cultural features of the country, and to evaluate its ...

Inferring microbial co-occurrence networks from amplicon data: a systematic evaluation
Microbes commonly organize into communities consisting of hundreds of species involved in complex interactions with each other. 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) amplicon profiling provides snapshots that reveal the phylogenies and abundance profiles of these

Fluctuations between high- and low-modularity topology in time-resolved functional connectivity [PDF]
Modularity is an important topological attribute for functional brain networks. Recent studies have reported that modularity of functional networks varies not only across individuals being related to demographics and cognitive performance, but also ...
