A Replaceable Curiosity-Driven Candidate Agent Exploration Approach for Task-Oriented Dialog Policy Learning

open access: yesIEEE Access
Task-oriented dialog policy learning is often formulated as a Reinforcement Learning problem whose rewards from the environment are extremely sparse, which means that the agent will often not find the reward by acting randomly.

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

A CONFIDENCE INTERVAL FOR PROPORTION IN FINITE POPULATION DIVIDED INTO TWO STRATA: A NUMERICAL STUDY.

open access: yesQuantitative Methods in Economics, 2015
Consider a finite population of N units. Let (0,1) denotes the fraction of units with a given property. The problem is in interval estimation of  on the basis of a sample drawn due to the simple random sampling without replacement.

Sampling without Replacement Leads to Faster Rates in Finite-Sum Minimax Optimization

open access: yes, 2022
We analyze the convergence rates of stochastic gradient algorithms for smooth finite-sum minimax optimization and show that, for many such algorithms, sampling the data points without replacement leads to faster convergence compared to sampling with ...

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.

Enhanced estimation of population mean via exponential-type estimator using dual auxiliary inputs

open access: yesApplied Mathematics in Science and Engineering
Without having to interview every person, we may draw conclusions about the whole population by estimating the population mean, a fundamental summary statistic that is obtained from a sample.

An elimination procedure for unequal probability sampling without replacement

open access: yes, 1996
An exact without replacement sampling procedure with fixed sample size and unequal inclusion probabilities is presented. The proposed method eliminates a unit of the population at each of the N-n steps of the algorithm in order finally to retain n units.

Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.
