===NER with LLMs===
  
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_August_2018|August]]
+
* Wrote scripts and configured an LLM for Named Entity Recognition. Trained an LLM on gene names and diseases. Works well so far (F1 ~ 98%, Accuracy ~ 99.9%)
  
 +
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
  
== September 6, 2018 ==
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
  
=== Genotype class ===
+
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
* Chris started initial document to draw up ?Genotype class and make appropriate changes to ?Strain class
 
**  https://docs.google.com/document/d/19hP9r6BpPW3FSAeC_67FNyNq58NGp4eaXBT42Ch3gDE/edit?usp=sharing
 
* Would be good for people to look at so we can discuss next time
 
* Would also be good to have Kevin H take a look and provide feedback
 
  
=== Citace Upload ===
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
* Send citace files to Wen by Sept 18, 10am Pacific
 
  
=== Automated gene descriptions ===
 
* Group making improvements
 
* Added disease, protein domains
 
** When direct experimental evidence for disease relevance, will say "gene has been used to study"
 
* When minimal data (information-poor genes), we can refer to human ortholog and data stored for that human gene in Alliance
 
* Continue to receive feedback from users; include enrichment information, etc.
 
* Now have good trimming algorithms to retain important info without flooding a description with too many granular terms
 
* Will not store automated descriptions in Postgres
 
* Wen will modify SimpleMine scripts to accommodate change
 
* Would be good to write a paper on automated concise descriptions
 
* Came up at GO meeting/hackathon: Translating GO-CAM models into concise descriptions?
 
** Should be doable; just need to develop code when we're ready to do that
 
  
=== Textpresso presentation at next Alliance all-hands call ===
 
* Who should present? Maybe have several people? Kimberly, Valerio, Michael for sections?
 
* We can discuss at next Textpresso meeting
 
* Should cover techniques and software, but keep it generally simple and comprehensible for a larger audience

+
=== Literature Migration to the Alliance ABC ===
 +
==== Use Cases for Searches and Validation in the ABC (or, what are your common actions in the curation status form)? ====
 +
===== Find papers with a high confidence NN classification for a given topic that have also been flagged positive by an author in a community curation pipeline and that haven’t been curated yet for that topic =====
 +
*Facet for topic
 +
*Facet for automatic assertion
 +
**neural network method
 +
*Facet for confidence level
 +
**High
 +
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**author assertion
 +
***ACKnowledge method
 +
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***curation tools method - NULL
  
=== Citace upload ===
+
===== Manually validate paper - topic flags without curating =====
* Send files to Wen by 10am Tuesday (18th)
+
*Facet for topic
 +
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***ABC - no data
  
=== Genotype class ===
+
===== View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed =====
* [https://docs.google.com/document/d/19hP9r6BpPW3FSAeC_67FNyNq58NGp4eaXBT42Ch3gDE/edit?usp=sharing ?Genotype class proposal]
+
* Search ABC with paper identifier
* Genotype_name tag: free text summary of the genotype
+
* Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
** Can this be automatically generated from components? Ideally, yes, but may be difficult
+
* View all associated data
** Otherwise, can be manually written, as we have been doing, but is a bit denormalized and may require maintenance
+
* Manually validate flags, if needed
* Genotype_description tag: free-text description of the genotype
 
** No precedent and probably not going to start now, so will remove from model
 
* Genotype_components supertag: to collect genotype component objects and, where necessary, free text
 
** We want to be able to express zygosity for each referenced object, likely requires a #Zygosity hash (and hence a ?Zygosity model)
 
** ?Zygosity model can have three main tags: "Homozygous", "Heterozygous_with_wild_type", or "Heteroallelic_combination_with"
 
*** Heteroallelic_combination_with tag could further specify the type and identity of the object that is in heteroallelic combination with the original object
 
*** Since it is not ideal to store an arbitrary component in the #Zygosity hash, we should probably just state the zygosity as "Heteroallelic_combination" and for display purposes have an automated way to calculate which components affect the same locus/loci (if necessary)
 
  
 +
=== PDF Storage ===
 +
* At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3
 +
* We are not planning to formally store back-up copies elsewhere
 +
* Is this okay with everyone?
  
 +
==February 8, 2024==
 +
* TAGC
 +
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
  
== September 20, 2018 ==
+
* Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?
  
=== Kimberly's talk at Rutgers ===
+
==February 1, 2024==
* Kimberly went to worm meeting at Rutgers (10 labs using C. elegans? 6-7 totally worm-centric)
+
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
* 30-40 attendees (PIs, postdocs, grad students)
+
* Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.
* Discussed tools and features at WB
 
* Presented Alliance pages and Textpresso
 
* PIs are enthusiastic about WB
 
* Monica Driscoll made a good plug for Textpresso
 
* People requesting FAQs and user guides (text and videos)
 
* Monica suggested a WB tutorial for PIs ;p
 
* Some people surprised about what they can accomplish using the tools available, like SimpleMine
 
* Covered gene set enrichment, WormMine, SPELL, SimpleMine, ParaSite BioMart, Textpresso
 
* Would be good to show people how to use Textpresso Central
 
* Discussed micropublications, asked about negative results (precedent?)
 
* Some asked about WB funding and Alliance plans
 
* Can we make a within-page search available to find, for example, field names etc.
 
* Some challenges in find genes/proteins of certain class
 
** Had question about histone genes recently
 
** Repeatedly have had questions about finding "ion channels"
 
** Searching gene class with text pulls out lots of false positives
 
** Could perform an analysis on particular classes of genes (e.g. histones or ion channels) and generate a micropublication providing the curated list
 
** Can generate a WormMine template query to pull these out for each release
 
** What classes of genes would we want to identify: histones, transcription factors, ion channels, protein kinases
 
** Chris will look into WormMine templates using gene class info and look into pulling in protein motif information
 
** We will ask other MODs and UniProt about how they deal with this issue

=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
=== Update on the new AFP form and pipeline ===
+
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
*Daniela, KImberly, Juancarlos, and Valerio will update on the current status of the new AFP form and pipeline
+
 
**Overall, the goal has been to incorporate as much Textpresso-based entity and data-type flagging as possible into the form
+
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
**Move from author data flagging to author data validation wherever we can
+
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
**Provide opportunities for authors to submit more detailed curation if they want
+
 
 +
* The paper conducts an analysis of natural variations within 48 wild isolates. To enhance the reliability of the variant set, I utilized the latest variant calling methods along with a custom filtering approach. The resulting dataset comprises 1,957,683 unique variants identified using Clair3. Additionally, Sniffles2 was used to identify indels of >30 bp, which numbered in the thousands to tens of thousands for most wild isolates. It is worth noting that variants identified with Sniffles2 have less reliable nucleotide positions in the genome.
 +
 
 +
* I am reaching out to inquire whether WormBase would be interested in incorporating this dataset. An argument in favor is the higher quality of my data. However, I am mindful of the potential substantial effort involved for WormBase, and it is unclear whether this aligns with your priorities.
 +
 
 +
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
 +
 
 +
=== Update on NN Classification via the Alliance ===
 +
* Use of primary/not primary/not designated flag to filter papers
 +
* Secondary filter on papers with at least C. elegans as species
 +
* Finalize sources (i.e. evidence) for entity and topic tags on papers
 +
* Next NN clasification scheduled for ~March
 +
 
 +
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
 +
* NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
 +
* Show all C. elegans papers first and other species in a separate bin.
 +
 
 +
=== Travel Reimbursements ===
 +
* Still waiting on October travel reimbursement (Kimberly)
 +
* Still waiting on September and October travel reimbursements (Wen)
 +
 
 +
=== UniProt ===
 +
* Jae found some genes without uniProt IDs, but the genes are there on uniProt but without WBGene IDs.
 +
* Wen reached to Stavros and Chris to investigate WormBase and AGR angles.
 +
* Stavros escalates the issue on Hinxton Standup.
 +
