=== New SObA graphs ===
+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_August_2019|August]]
* May put graphs within existing widgets, but don't need to rush to get that ready for IWM
 
  
=== Phenotype association file format ===
 
* May be best to leave the format as is
 
* There are problems; paper IDs keep switching columns
 
* Would need to revisit the reasoning for why we do it that way
 
* When will the Alliance produce a similar/replacement file? Not sure
 
  
=== Phenotype requests ===
+
== September 12, 2019 ==
* Sent out 1140 emails on May 30
 
* Since have received 374 annotations from 54 papers (42 requested, 12 additional)
 
* 21 papers flagged as not having phenotypes
 
* Of 1140 papers emailed about, 35 emails bounced, and have received some flagging or curation on 63 (63/1105 = ~6% response rate), in first week
 
  
 +
=== Update on SVM pipeline ===
 +
* New SVM pipeline: more analysis and more parameter tuning
 +
* avoiding precision (and F-value) as a measure (dependent on ratio of positives and negatives in test set)
 +
* For example shown, "dumb" machine starts out with precision above 0.6
 +
* G-value (Michael's invention); does not depend on distribution of sets
 +
* Applied to various data types
 +
* Analysis: 10-fold cross validation
 +
** Randomly select 10% pos and neg (without replacement) and repeat until all papers sampled
 +
* F-value changes over different p/n values; G-value does not (essentially flat)
 +
* Area Under the Curve (AUC): probability that a random positive scores higher than random negative
 +
* AUC values for many WB data types upper 80%'s into 90%'s
 +
* Ranjana: How many papers for a good training set? Michael: we don't know yet
 +
* Can't reproduce old training sets (for old SVM); provide Michael better training sets if you want improved SVM
 +
* If SVM still not good enough, Michael will work on deep neural networks (Tensor Flow)
 +
* Michael can provide training sets he has used recently

=== Clarifying definitions of "defective" and "deficient" for phenotypes ===
 +
* WB phenotype ontology has many "variant/abnormal" terms and distinct subclass terms for "defective/deficient"
 +
* Have tried to create a logical definition pattern for these terms, but the vagueness of the meaning of "defective" and how it is distinct from "abnormal" has stalled the process
 +
* What do we mean exactly by "defective" and how, specifically, is this distinct from "abnormal"?
 +
* Definitions include meanings or words:
 +
** "Variations in the ability"
 +
** "aberrant"
 +
** "defect"
 +
** "defective"
 +
** "defects"

+
* New graphs now live on site (Expression, Gene Ontology, Human Diseases, Phenotypes)
* Concern was expressed about how to handle a really high throughput of submissions:
+
* A lot of whitespace padding above and below graph; maybe trim? trimming vertically would ultimately limit the view pane when user wants to zoom in, so we should leave as is for now
** Daniela: Working towards automating as much of the processing pipeline as possible
+
* Diff tool: Raymond and Juancarlos created a prototype diff tool (for comparing two genes, for example)
** Raymond: The throughput will be handled appropriately depending on demand; priority scheme will help
+
** Paul: compared two genes that should be very similar, but there are a lot of differences; may reflect annotation coverage rather than biology
** Not getting lots of submissions yet, probably won't be inundated in the near future
 
** Karen: tools are still being developed; the platform is not being advertised as much as it could be; will ramp up outreach and communication once tools are in place to handle more submissions
 
* Karen: Micropublications team will reach out to curators to help build submission forms for respective data types
