Article Abstract

Motivation: Lipids play crucial roles in various biological functions and diseases. However, a gap exists in databases providing information of lipids functions based on curated information. Consequently, LipidFun is purposed as the first lipid function database with sentence-level evidence detailing lipid-related phenotypes and biological functions.

Results: Potential lipid functions were extracted from the biomedical literature using natural language processing techniques, with accuracy and reliability ensured through manual curation by four domain experts. LipidFun constructs classification systems for lipids, biological functions, and phenotypes for named entity recognition. Sentence-level evidence is extracted to highlight connections to lipid-associated biological processes and diseases. Integrating these classification systems and a large amount of sentence-level evidence allows LipidFun to provide an overview of lipid-phenotype and lipid-biological function associations through concise visualizations. Overall, LipidFun unravels the relationships between lipids and biological mechanisms, underscoring their overarching influence on physiological processes.

Availability And Implementation: LipidFun is available at https://lipidfun.bioinfomics.org/.

Talker-specificity beyond the lexicon: Recognition memory for spoken sentences.

Over the past 35 years, it has been established that mental representations of language include fine-grained acoustic details stored in episodic memory. The empirical foundations of this fact were established through a series of word recognition experiments showing that participants were better at remembering words repeated by the same talker than words repeated by a different talker (talker-specificity effect). This effect has been widely replicated, but exclusively with isolated, generally monosyllabic, words as the object of study.

Given oral language's role in writing proficiency and to address measurement issues in oral and written language, we trialed complementary scoring metrics in language sample analysis (LSA) with the sentence-level Picture Word Writing Curriculum-Based Measure (CBM-W). Using the Picture Word CBM-W samples of 123 students with writing difficulties, we investigated (1a) alternate form reliability, (1b) criterion-related validity with existing Picture Word CBM-W metrics, (2) criterion-related validity with a standardized written expression measure, and (3) sensitivity to growth from fall to spring for LSA and Picture Word CBM-W scoring mechanisms. Pearson product-moment correlations, Spearman's correlations, and Bonferroni-corrected paired-samples -tests revealed two promising LSA metrics with evidence of technical quality and sensitivity to growth as a complementary scoring mechanism for Picture Word CBM-W: mean length of T-Unit in morphemes (MLTU-M) using the mean of two forms in the fall, and number of different words (NDW) using the mean of two forms in fall and spring.

Patients have distinct information needs about their hospitalization that can be addressed using clinical evidence from electronic health records (EHRs). While artificial intelligence (AI) systems show promise in meeting these needs, robust datasets are needed to evaluate the factual accuracy and relevance of AI-generated responses. To our knowledge, no existing dataset captures patient information needs in the context of their EHRs.

Chinese lacks explicit word boundary markers, creating frequent temporary segmental ambiguities where character sequences permit multiple plausible lexical analyses. Skilled native (L1) Chinese readers resolve these ambiguities efficiently. However, mechanisms underlying word segmentation in second language (L2) Chinese reading remain poorly understood.

Purpose: Developmental language disorder (DLD) affects around 7.5% of children and can impact education and social well-being. Thus far, interventions for school-aged children with DLD have been targeted at single-word or sentence level.
