• When the whole is less than the sum of its parts: how composition affects PMI values in distributional semantic vectors

  Paperno, Denis; Baroni, Marco (MIT Press, 2016)

• There is no logical negation here, but there are alternatives: modeling conversational negation with distributional semantics

  Kruszewski, German; Paperno, Denis; Bernardi, Raffaella; Baroni, Marco (MIT Press, 2016)

  Logical negation is a challenge for distributional semantics, because predicates and their negations tend to occur in very similar contexts, and consequently their distributional vectors are very similar. Indeed, it is not ...

• RNA as the stone guest of protein aggregation

  Louka, Alexandra; Zacco, Elsa; Temussi, Piero Andrea; Tartaglia, Gian Gaetano; Pastore, Annalisa (Oxford University Press, 2020)

  The study of prions as infectious aggregates dates several decades. From its original formulation, the definition of a prion has progressively changed to the point that many aggregation-prone proteins are now considered ...
• Structural analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genome and predictions of the human interactome

  Vandelli, Andrea; Monti, Michele; Milanetti, Edoardo; Armaos, Alexandros, 1989-; Rupert, Jakob; Zacco, Elsa; Bechara, Elias; Delli Ponti, Riccardo, 1987-; Tartaglia, Gian Gaetano (Oxford University Press, 2020)

• Quantifying the monomer-dimer equilibrium of tubulin with mass photometry

  Fineberg, Adam; Surrey, Thomas; Kukura, Philipp (Elsevier, 2020)

  The αβ-tubulin heterodimer is the fundamental building block of microtubules, making it central to several cellular processes. Despite the apparent simplicity of heterodimerisation, the associated energetics and kinetics ...
• Neural sensitivity to syllable frequency and mutual information in speech perception and production

  Tremblay, Pascale; Deschamps, Isabelle; Baroni, Marco; Hasson, Uri (Elsevier, 2016)

  Many factors affect our ability to decode the speech signal, including its quality, the complexity of the elements that compose it, as well as their frequency of occurrence and co-occurrence in a language. Syllable frequency ...
• Chromatin-bound proteome profiling by genome capture

  Aranda Aragón, Sergio; Borràs, Eva; Sabidó Aguadé, Eduard, 1981-; Di Croce, Luciano (Elsevier, 2020)
