Metadata plays a vital role in the development and implementation of the National Digital Archives Program (NDAP). We’re now developing an online database for teaching plant recognition, providing students and other users with an access to recognizing all plants possible. While digitalizing the above-mentioned database, this study focuses on “subject and community oriented” metadata kernel set. By using the exact searching and result revealing interface over the same data as well as cross-database retrieval, we aim at uttering convenience and user-friendliness. In view of the ever-increasing data and the need for future integration, we’ve tried to analyze the content and features of possible plants, made comparisons over various metadata standards, constructed a user-friendly database system and designed the plant-related metadata in the dedication of research references at home and abroad. The assistant learning mechanism of this interactive digital archive includes two vital aspects. They are, respectively, student-learning circulation and database-learning circulation, which are worth developing into further application on teaching. Learners of all levels are able to use the system freely and spontaneously. For the exchange of the digital archives, this study constructs a Chinese metadata format and integrates XML technique in the hope of helping students retrieve their data precisely, acquire an integrated concept of plants and learn to appreciate and cherish all plants in their campus.

Abstract Background Classification of certain proteins with specific functions is momentous for biological research. Encoding approaches of protein sequences for feature extraction play an important role in protein classification. Many computational methods (namely classifiers) are used for classification on protein sequences according to various encoding approaches. Commonly, protein sequences keep certain labels corresponding to different categories of biological functions (e.g., bacterial type IV secreted effectors or not), which makes protein prediction a fantasy. As to protein prediction, a kernel set of protein sequences keeping certain labels certified by biological experiments should be existent in advance. However, it has been hardly ever seen in prevailing researches. Therefore, unsupervised learning rather than supervised learning (e.g. classification) should be considered. As to protein classification, various classifiers may help to evaluate the effectiveness of different encoding approaches. Besides, variable selection from an encoded feature representing protein sequences is an important issue that also needs to be considered. Results Focusing on the latter problem, we propose a new method for variable selection from an encoded feature representing protein sequences. Taking a benchmark dataset containing 1947 protein sequences as a case, experiments are made to identify bacterial type IV secreted effectors (T4SE) from protein sequences, which are composed of 399 T4SE and 1548 non-T4SE. Comparable and quantified results are obtained only using certain components of the encoded feature, i.e., position-specific scoring matix, and that indicates the effectiveness of our method. Conclusions Certain variables other than an encoded feature they belong to do work for discrimination between different types of proteins. In addition, ensemble classifiers with an automatic assignment of different base classifiers do achieve a better classification result.

Online kernel selection in continuous kernel space is more complex than that in discrete kernel set. But existing online kernel selection approaches for continuous kernel spaces have linear computational complexities at each round with respect to the current number of rounds and lack sublinear regret guarantees due to the continuously many candidate kernels. To address these issues, we propose a novel hypothesis sketching approach to online kernel selection in continuous kernel space, which has constant computational complexities at each round and enjoys a sublinear regret bound. The main idea of the proposed hypothesis sketching approach is to maintain the orthogonality of the basis functions and the prediction accuracy of the hypothesis sketches in a time-varying reproducing kernel Hilbert space. We first present an efficient dependency condition to maintain the basis functions of the hypothesis sketches under a computational budget. Then we update the weights and the optimal kernels by minimizing the instantaneous loss of the hypothesis sketches using the online gradient descent with a compensation strategy. We prove that the proposed hypothesis sketching approach enjoys a regret bound of order O(√T) for online kernel selection in continuous kernel space, which is optimal for convex loss functions, where T is the number of rounds, and reduces the computational complexities at each round from linear to constant with respect to the number of rounds. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed hypothesis sketching approach significantly improves the efficiency of online kernel selection in continuous kernel space while retaining comparable predictive accuracies.

AbstractDegenerate parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with vanishing or unbounded leading coefficient make the PDE non-uniformly parabolic, and new theories need to be developed in the context of practical applications of such rather unstudied mathematical models arising in porous media, population dynamics, financial mathematics, etc. With this new challenge in mind, this paper considers investigating newly formulated direct and inverse problems associated with non-uniform parabolic PDEs where the leading space- and time-dependent coefficient is allowed to vanish on a non-empty, but zero measure, kernel set. In the context of inverse analysis, we consider the linear but ill-posed identification of a space-dependent source from a time-integral observation of the weighted main dependent variable. For both, this inverse source problem as well as its corresponding direct formulation, we rigorously investigate the question of well-posedness. We also give examples of inverse problems for which sufficient conditions guaranteeing the unique solvability are fulfilled, and present the results of numerical simulations. It is hoped that the analysis initiated in this study will open up new avenues for research in the field of direct and inverse problems for degenerate parabolic equations with applications.
