Global alignment for relation extraction in Microbiology [PDF]
Junior Conference on Data Science and Engineering, Feb 2021,
Orsay, France, 2021 We investigate a method to extract relations from texts based on global alignment and syntactic information. Combined with SVM, this method is shown to have a performance comparable or even better than LSTM on two RE tasks.

Bringing Microbiology to Light: Towards all-Optical Electrophysiology in Bacteria [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The observation of neuron-like behaviour in bacteria, such as the occurrence of electric spiking and extended bioelectric signalling, points to the role of membrane dynamics in prokaryotes. Electrophysiology of bacteria, however, has been overlooked for long time, due to the difficulties in monitoring bacterial bioelectric phenomena with those probing ...
