De novo protein structure prediction from amino acid sequence is one of the most challenging problems in computational biology. As one of the extensively explored mathematical models for protein folding, Hydrophobic-Polar (HP) model enables thorough investigation of protein structure formation and evolution. Although HP model discretizes the conformational space and simplifies the folding energy function, it has been proven to be an NP-complete problem. In this paper, we propose a novel protein folding framework FoldingZero, self-folding a de novo protein 2D HP structure from scratch based on deep reinforcement learning. FoldingZero features the coupled approach of a two-head (policy and value heads) deep convolutional neural network (HPNet) and a regularized Upper Confidence Bounds for Trees (R-UCT). It is trained solely by a reinforcement learning algorithm, which improves HPNet and R-UCT iteratively through iterative policy optimization. Without any supervision and domain knowledge, FoldingZero not only achieves comparable results, but also learns the latent folding knowledge to stabilize the structure. Without exponential computation, FoldingZero shows promising potential to be adopted for real-world protein properties prediction.
Heuristic algorithms cannot guarantee the optimal solution, but they usually obtain an approximation solution in a reasonable time frame. Beutler and Dill introduced a Core-directed chain Growth method (CG) using a heuristic bias function to help assemble a hydrophobic core @cite_27 . Ant colony optimization based algorithms were developed by Shmygelska @cite_25 and Thalheim @cite_3 . proposed a new Monte Carlo method, fragment regrowth via energy-guided sequential sampling @cite_19 . Other techniques, such as simulated annealing @cite_26 , quantum annealing @cite_9 , genetic algorithms @cite_22 and reinforcement learning @cite_5 , were also applied to the HP model with limited success and scalability.

A citing sentence is one that appears in a scientific article and cites previous work. Citing sentences have been studied and used in many applications. For example, they have been used in scientific paper summarization, automatic survey generation, paraphrase identification, and citation function classification. Citing sentences that cite multiple papers are common in scientific writing. This observation should be taken into consideration when using citing sentences in applications. For instance, when a citing sentence is used in a summary of a scientific paper, only the fragments of the sentence that are relevant to the summarized paper should be included in the summary. In this paper, we present and compare three different approaches for identifying the fragments of a citing sentence that are related to a given target reference. Our methods are: word classification, sequence labeling, and segment classification. Our experiments show that segment classification achieves the best results. Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to suggest an alternative to the widely used Times Cited criterion for analysing citation networks. The approach involves taking account of the natures of the papers that cite a given paper, so as to differentiate between papers that attract the same number of citations.Design methodology approach – ArticleRank is an algorithm that has been derived from Google's PageRank algorithm to measure the influence of journal articles. ArticleRank is applied to two datasets – a citation network based on an early paper on webometrics, and a self‐citation network based on the 19 most cited papers in the Journal of Documentation – using citation data taken from the Web of Knowledge database.Findings – ArticleRank values provide a different ranking of a set of papers from that provided by the corresponding Times Cited values, and overcomes the inability of the latter to differentiate between papers with the same numbers of citations. The difference in rankings between Times Cited ... Abstract Documents in computer-readable form can be used to provide information about other documents, i.e. those they cite. To do this efficiently requires procedures for computer recognition of citing statements. This is not easy, especially for multi-sentence citing statements. Computer recognition procedures have been developed which are accurate to the following extent: 73 of the words in statements selected by computer procedures as being citing statements are words which are correctly attributable to the corresponding documents. The retrieval effectiveness of computer-recognized citing statements was tested in the following way. First, for eight retrieval requests in inorganiic chemistry, average recall by search of Chemical Abstracts Service indexing and Chemical Abstracts abstract text words was found to be 50 . Words from citing statements referring to the papers to be retrieved were then added to the index terms and abstract words as additional access points, and searching was repeated. Average recall increased to 70 . Only words from citing statements published within a year of the cited papers were used. The retrieval effect of citing statement words alone (published within a year) without index or abstract terms was the following: average recall was 40 . When just the words of the titles of the cited papers were added to those citing statement words, average recall increased to 50 . In a document network such as a citation network of scientific documents, web-logs, etc., the content produced by authors exhibits their interest in certain topics. In addition some authors influence other authors' interests. In this work, we propose to model the influence of cited authors along with the interests of citing authors. Moreover, we hypothesize that apart from the citations present in documents, the context surrounding the citation mention provides extra topical information about the cited authors. However, associating terms in the context to the cited authors remains an open problem. We propose novel document generation schemes that incorporate the context while simultaneously modeling the interests of citing authors and influence of the cited authors. Our experiments show significant improvements over baseline models for various evaluation criteria such as link prediction between document and cited author, and quantitatively explaining unseen text.
