    This repository contains resources developed for the paper: Gupta, V., Zhang, S., Vempala, A., He, Y., Choji, T., Srikumar V., Right for the Right Reason: Evidence Extraction for Trustworthy Tabular Reasoning. In: Proceeding of the The Association of Computational Linguistic 2022 (ACL ’22), May 2022". It includes the relevant rows marking for the train set of the InfoTabS dataset (https://infotabs.github.io/) Gupta et. al. 2020 [1]. We followed the protocol of Gupta et al. (2022) [2] which annotated the development and test sets (alpha1, alpha2, alpha3) sets: one table and three distinct hypotheses formed a HIT. We divide the tasks equally into 110 batches, each batch having 51 HITs each having three examples. In total, we collected 81,282 annotations from 90 distinct annotators. Overall, twenty five annotators completed over 1000 tasks, corresponding to 87.75 % of the examples, indicating a tail distribution with the annotations. Overall, 16,248 training set table-hypothesis pairs were successfully labeled with the evidence rows. On average, we obtain 89.49% F1-score with equal precision and recall for annotation agreement when compared with majority vote. It also includes an annotation template used on the mTurk platform for crowdsourcing. The cited datasets were used in this work. The cited datasets were used in this work.

    Mixed integer polynomial programming

    No full text
    The mixed integer polynomial programming problem is reformulated as a multi-parametric programming problem by relaxing integer variables as continuous variables and then treating them as parameters. The optimality conditions for the resulting parametric programming problem are given by a set of simultaneous parametric polynomial equations which are solved analytically to give the parametric optimal solution as a function of the relaxed integer variables. Evaluation of the parametric optimal solution for integer variables fixed at their integer values followed by screening of the evaluated solutions gives the optimal solutions

    Previously we showed that membrane fusion is required for TANGO1-dependent export of procollagen VII from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (Nogueira, et al., 2014). Along with the t-SNARE Syntaxin 18, we now reveal the complete complement of SNAREs required in this process, t-SNAREs BNIP1 and USE1, and v-SNARE YKT6. TANGO1 recruits YKT6-containing ER Golgi Intermediate Compartment (ERGIC) membranes to procollagen VII-enriched patches on the ER. Moreover residues 1214-1396, that include the first coiled coil of TANGO1, specifically recruit ERGIC membranes even when targeted to mitochondria. TANGO1 is thus pivotal in concentrating procollagen VII in the lumen and recruiting ERGIC membranes on the cytoplasmic surface of the ER. Our data reveal that growth of a mega transport carrier for collagen export from the ER is not by acquisition of a larger patch of ER membrane, but instead by addition of ERGIC membranes to procollagen-enriched domains of the ER by a TANGO1-mediated process.European Commission (European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) 625149).

    Development and Psychometric Properties of A Screening Tool for Assessing Developmental Coordination Disorder in Adults

    Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting motor coordination. Evidence suggests this disorder persists into adulthood and may be associated with biomechanical dysfunction and pain. We report on the development and initial validation of a questionnaire to assess for DCD in adults. Methods: An initial item pool (13 items) was derived from the American Psychiatric Association criteria and World Health Organisation definition for DCD. An expert panel assessed face and content validity which led to a 9-item Functional Difficulties Questionnaire (FDQ-9) with possible scores ranging from 9-36 (higher scores indicating greater functional difficulties). The FDQ-9 was piloted on individuals recruited from convenience samples. The underlying factor structure and aspects of reliability, validity and accuracy were tested. The Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve was employed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the test using self-reported dyspraxia as the reference standard. Results: Principal Axis Factoring yielded a two factor solution relating to gross and fine motor skills; for conceptual parsimony these were combined. Internal reliability was high (0.81), the mean inter-item correlation was 0.51 and preliminary findings suggested satisfactory construct validity. The Area under the Curve was 0.918 [95% CI 0.84-1.00] indicating a diagnostic test with high accuracy. A cut-off score was established with a sensitivity and specificity of 86% [95% CI 78%-89%] and 81% [95 % CI 73%-89%] respectively. Test-retest reliability was good (ICC 0.96 [95% CI 0.92 to 0.98]. Conclusion: The psychometric properties of the FDQ-9 appear promising. Work is required to conduct further psychometric evaluations on new samples and apply the scale to clinical practice

    TANGO1 binds and exports Procollagen VII from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this study, we report a connection between the cytoplasmic domain of TANGO1 and SLY1, a protein that is required for membrane fusion. Knockdown of SLY1 by siRNA arrested Procollagen VII in the ER without affecting the recruitment of COPII components, general protein secretion, and retrograde transport of the KDEL-containing protein BIP, and ERGIC53. SLY1 is known to interact with the ER-specific SNARE proteins Syntaxin 17 and 18, however only Syntaxin 18 was required for Procollagen VII export. Neither SLY1 nor Syntaxin 18 was required for the export of the equally bulky Procollagen I from the ER. Altogether, these findings reveal the sorting of bulky collagen family members by TANGO1 at the ER and highlight the existence of different export pathways for secretory cargoes one of which is mediated by the specific SNARE complex containing SLY1 and Syntaxin 18.We thank the entire Malhotra Lab for help with figures and corrections.
