AMELIE speeds Mendelian diagnosis by matching patient phenotype and genotype to primary literature
The diagnosis of Mendelian disorders requires labor-intensive literature research. Trained clinicians can spend hours looking for the right publication(s) supporting a single gene that best explains a patient’s disease. AMELIE (Automatic Mendelian Literature Evaluation) greatly accelerates this process. AMELIE parses all 29 million PubMed abstracts and downloads and further parses hundreds of thousands of full-text articles in search of information supporting the causality and associated phenotypes of most published genetic variants. AMELIE then prioritizes patient candidate variants for their likelihood of explaining any patient’s given set of phenotypes. Diagnosis of singleton patients (without relatives’ exomes) is the most time-consuming scenario,...

Towards Curiosity-Driven Learning of Physical Dynamics
Throughout our lives, we as humans acquire an intuitive understanding of our physical environments, a capacity that supports our imagination and planning abilities. Driven by our own curiosity, we learn about object motion and properties via self-curated targeted experiments, that teach us what we do not know. Recently, neural network models have been proposed that learn forward object dynamics from observations like humans. Unlike humans, these models do not actively interact with surrounding objects but learn from human-curated datasets as passive observers. In this work-in-progress, we propose a closed-loop system that teaches itself about forward object dynamics without any human...

Weakly Supervised Sequence Tagging from Noisy Rules
We propose a framework for training sequence tagging models with weak supervision consisting of multiple heuristic rules of unknown accuracy. In addition to supporting rules that vote on tags in the output sequence, we introduce a new type of weak supervision, called linking rules, that vote on how sequence elements should be grouped into spans with the same tag. These rules are an alternative to candidate span generators that require significantly more human effort. To estimate the accuracies of the rules and combine their conflicting outputs into training data, we introduce a new type of generative model, linked hidden Markov...
