Recurrent knowledge graph embedding for effective recommendation

Sun, Zhu (author), Yang, J. (author), Zhang, J. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Huang, Long Kai (author), Xu, Chi (author)

Knowledge graphs (KGs) have proven to be effective to improve recommendation. Existing methods mainly rely on hand-engineered features from KGs (e.g., meta paths), which requires domain knowledge. This paper presents RKGE, a KG embedding approach that automatically learns semantic representations of both entities and paths between entities...

DisQ: Disentangling Quantitative MRI Mapping of the Heart

Yang, C. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), Huang, Lu (author), Xia, Liming (author), Tao, Q. (author)

Quantitative MRI (qMRI) of the heart has become an important clinical tool for examining myocardial tissue properties. Because heart is a moving object, it is usually imaged with electrocardiogram and respiratory gating during acquisition, to “freeze” its motion. In reality, gating is more-often-than-not imperfect given the heart rate...

Understanding the interaction of nucleotides with UVC light: an insight from quantum chemical calculation-based findings

Tan, C. (author), Wang, S. (author), Yang, Huiru (author), Huang, Qianming (author), Li, Shizhen (author), Liu, X. (author), Ye, H. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)

Short-wave ultraviolet (also called UVC) irradiation is a well-adopted method of viral inactivation due to its ability to damage genetic material. A fundamental problem with the UVC inactivation method is that its mechanism of action on viruses is still unknown at the molecular level. To address this problem, herein we investigate the...

A risk-based approach to inspection planning for pipelines considering the coupling effect of corrosion and dents

Huang, Y. (author), Qin, Guojin (author), Yang, M. (author)

RBI, referring to a risk-based approach to inspection planning, is an established pipeline integrity management method. Both corrosion and dents are the primary threats to pipeline integrity. However, they are often treated separately in RBI without considering their interactions. This coupling may lead to a synergic effect on integrity...
