BEVERS: A General, Simple, and Performant Framework for Automatic Fact Verification [PDF]
Automatic fact verification has become an increasingly popular topic in recent years and among datasets the Fact Extraction and VERification (FEVER) dataset is one of the most popular. In this work we present BEVERS, a tuned baseline system for the FEVER dataset.

Abstract Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) higher‐risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have a dismal median overall survival (OS) after failing hypomethylating agent (HMA) treatment. There is no standard of care for patients after HMA therapy failure; hence, there is a critical need for effective therapeutic strategies.

Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the management of Waldenström macroglobulinemia
Abstract Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors have taken a central role in the management of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia and are the only agents approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat these patients. Although associated with high rates of durable responses, unmet needs with BTK inhibitor therapy include ...

A mathematically assisted reconstruction of the initial focus of the yellow fever outbreak in Buenos Aires (1871) [PDF]
We discuss the historic mortality record corresponding to the initial focus of the yellow fever epidemic outbreak registered in Buenos Aires during the year 1871 as compared to simulations of a stochastic population dynamics model. This model incorporates the biology of the urban vector of yellow fever, the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the stages of the ...
