A Multi-Label Temporal Convolutional Framework for Transcription Factor Binding Characterization
Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression through complex and co-operative mechanisms. While many TFs act together, the logic underlying TFs binding and their interactions is not fully understood yet. Most current approaches for TF binding site prediction focus on individual TFs and binary classification tasks, without a full analysis of the possible interactions among various TFs. In this paper we investigate DNA TF binding site recognition as a multi-label classification problem, achieving reliable predictions for multiple TFs on DNA sequences retrieved in public repositories. Our deep learning models are based on Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs), which are able to predict multiple TF binding profiles, capturing correlations among TFs andtheir cooperative regulatory mechanisms. Our results suggest that multi-label learning leading to reliable predictive performances can reveal biologically meaningful motifs and co-binding patterns consistent with known TF interactions, while also suggesting novel relationships and cooperation among TFs.

Deep Learning for Audio Transcription on Low-Resource Datasets
In training a deep learning system to perform audio transcription, two practical problems may arise. Firstly, most datasets are weakly labelled, having only a list of events present in each recording without any temporal…
Deep LearningG-STAR: End-to-End Global Speaker-Tracking Attributed Recognition
We study timestamped speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition (SA-ASR) for long-form, multi-party speech with overlap. In this setting, chunk-wise inference must preserve meeting-level speaker identity consistency…
Speech RecognitionMulti-task Learning for Speaker Verification and Voice Trigger Detection
Automatic speech transcription and speaker recognition are usually treated as separate tasks even though they are interdependent. In this study, we investigate training a single network to perform both tasks jointly. We …
