Comparative Analysis of Traditional and Modern NLP Techniques on the CoLA Dataset: From POS Tagging to Large Language Models by Abdessamad Benlahbib, Achraf Boumhidi, Anass Fahfouh, Hamza Alami

“…These challenges include distinguishing between subtle grammatical errors, understanding complex syntactic structures, and detecting semantic inconsistencies, all of which make the task difficult even for human annotators. In this article, we compare a range of techniques, from traditional methods such as Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging and feature extraction methods like CountVectorizer with Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and N-grams, to modern embeddings such as FastText and Embeddings from Language Models (ELMo), as well as deep learning architectures like transformers and Large Language Models (LLMs). …”

Exploring the maternal inheritance transmitted by the oocyte to its progeny by Verlhac, Marie-Hélène

“…Organisms that propagate via sexual reproduction often come from the fusion between two gametes, an oocyte and a sperm, whose qualities seem to be decreasing in the human species. Interestingly, while the sperm mostly transmits its haploid genome, the oocyte transmits not only its haploid set of chromosomes but also its huge cytoplasm to its progeny. …”

Inferring single-cell and spatial microRNA activity from transcriptomics data by Efrat Herbst, Yael Mandel-Gutfreund, Zohar Yakhini, Hadas Biran

“…Abstract The activity of miRNA varies across different cell populations and systems, as part of the mechanisms that distinguish cell types and roles in living organisms and in human health and disease. Typically, miRNA regulation drives changes in the composition and levels of protein-coding RNA and of lncRNA, with targets being down-regulated when miRNAs are active. …”
