bacterial-classification is a sub repository of the Intelligent Immunity project specific to training and testing machine learning models for bacterial classification (Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and non-bacterial samples). Specifically, this repository aims to compare ML classification performance across different dataset curation strategies.
Machine-learned interatomic potentials (ML-IAPs) continue to gain popularity as accurate, computationally efficient replacements for traditional, physics-based interatomic potentials and expensive ab initio methods. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) of ML-IAPs is a growing area of research as UQ is critical in many applications of IAPs, such as developing curated datasets, active learning-based data augmentation, self-improving models, and estimating the uncertainty of molecular dynamics simulations. In this paper, we construct and benchmark a series of different neural network potentials (NNPs) with varying network architectures to determine the performance of these models with respect to both the mean and uncertainty calibration error. Each NNP method is specifically designed to predict either epistemic or aleatoric uncertainty with particular focus on the differences in behavior between the epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty estimates. We benchmark these methods using multiple datasets common in the ML-IAP literature. The results show that the aleatoric uncertainty from single-shot model architectures is a competitive alternative to ensemble-based epistemic uncertainty predictions in regions of sufficient data-density. However, in regions where the representative data is sparse, aleatoric uncertainty models tend to overpredict and epistemic methods tend to underpredict the actual model error. We conclude that the type of UQ is crucial when discussing performance of probabilistic model results as different methods have different performance characteristics depending on the regime in which they are evaluated. Therefore, the type of UQ method should be carefully evaluated against both the data characteristics and requirements for the intended application.
ABSTRACT The FaceBase Consortium was established by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research in 2009 as a ‘big data’ resource for the craniofacial research community. Over the past decade, researchers have deposited hundreds of annotated and curated datasets on both normal and disordered craniofacial development in FaceBase, all freely available to the research community on the FaceBase Hub website. The Hub has developed numerous visualization and analysis tools designed to promote integration of multidisciplinary data while remaining dedicated to the FAIR principles of data management (findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability) and providing a faceted search infrastructure for locating desired data efficiently. Summaries of the datasets generated by the FaceBase projects from 2014 to 2019 are provided here. FaceBase 3 now welcomes contributions of data on craniofacial and dental development in humans, model organisms and cell lines. Collectively, the FaceBase Consortium, along with other NIH-supported data resources, provide a continuously growing, dynamic and current resource for the scientific community while improving data reproducibility and fulfilling data sharing requirements.
Currently, traditional methods such as short-term average/long-term average (STA/LTA) are used to detect arrivals in three-component seismic waveform data. Accurately establishing the identity and arrival of these waves is helpful in detecting and locating seismic events. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown to significantly improve performance at local distances. This work will expand the use of CNNs to more remote distances and lower magnitudes. Sandia National Labs (SNL) will explore the advantages and limits of a particular approach and investigate requirements for expanding this technique to different types, distances, and magnitudes of events in the future. The team will describe detailed performance results of this method tuned on a curated dataset from Utah with its expert-defined arrival picks.
Here we present a curated dataset; raw images of fresh roots collected from a genotype by environment (growth matrix) greenhouse root architecture study of the bioenergy species, Populus trichocarpa. Five separate experiments were performed to generate the dataset. Biological replicates (ramets, vegetative propagants) of Populus trichocarpa genotypes BESC 24 and BESC 375 were used for all experiments. The first two experiments were an eight-week and a six-week pot experiment where plants with grown in 4" X 14" sized pots were filled with Farfard 3B potting soil (Fafard Sungro #3B), and watered twice daily. Average greenhouse humidity and growth temperature were around 50-60% and 23°C, respectively. Ramets of P. trichocarpa genotypes BESC 24 and BESC 375 were used in various experiments. The source of this material was dormant field cuttings grown in greenhouse. The second experiment was a Microcosm root architecture experiment. This was done in a microcosm built with double-decker tissue culture Magenta box. Tissue culture plants with new root initials were transferred to microcosm with pro choice rapid dry growth matrix with 1x Hoagland’s solution pH5.7 and grown for six weeks until harvest. Temperature was held at ~22°C. The closed container trapped moisture. The source material was tissue culture stock plants established from shoot tips of greenhouse stock plants (obtained from same set of dormant field cuttings as rest of the study). For the remaining two experiments, greenwood stem cuttings from greenhouse grown plants were grown in six-week rhizotron and two-week hydroponics experiments in the greenhouse. For rhizotron experiments, plants were grown in 2-D rhizotron with black panels on both sides (31cm H x 30cm L x 1.2cm W) and watered daily. For hydroponics experiment, plants were grown in a 15ml falcon tube with distilled water and covered in foil and shaken a few times a day. Greenhouse temperature was held at ~ 23°C and humidity was between 50-60%. Stems were cut off and the root system was separated, gently washed to rid of matrix, immersed in a water tray and scanned for obtaining raw root images reported here. All scans of roots floating in a water tray were performed using an Epson Perfection V850 Pro Photo Scanner. Additional meta data is embedded in the raw image files.
Here we present a curated dataset of a series of two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of lignin isolated from a woody energy crop (Populus trichocarpa) residues after co-solvent enhanced lignocellulosic fractionation (CELF) pretreatment and consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) process. The natural poplar variant GW-9947 from the Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI) was used. The poplar was knife milled and passed through a 1 mm sieve. The CELF pretreatment was performed in a Parr autoclave reactor with 7.5 wt % solids loading, 0.5 wt% H2SO4 as catalyst at 150°C with 15, 25 and 30 minutes, respectively. Tetrahydrofuran was added in a 1:1 mass ratio with water as the pretreatment solvent. The residues from CELF pretreatment were then subjected to CBP using the bacterium C. thermocellum DSM 1313. CBP fermentations were performed at 60 °C in a shaker at 50 grams/L solids loadings. Lignin was isolated from the pretreated samples after ball-milling in a porcelain jar with ceramic balls via Retsch PM 200 at 580 rpm for 2.5 h followed by enzymatic hydrolysis in acetate buffer (pH 4.8, 50 °C) for 48 h. The lignin samples were characterized using 13C–1H HSQC experiments which were performed in a Bruker Avance III HD 500 MHz NMR spectrometer operating at a frequency of 125.12 MHz for the 13C nucleus. A standard Bruker pulse sequence was used on a Prodigy platform cryoprobe. The dry lignin samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide for HSQC experiments. The spectra were acquired under the following acquisition conditions: 210 ppm spectral width in F1 (13C) dimension with 256 data points and 11 ppm spectral width in F2 (1H) dimension with 1024 data points, a 90° pulse, a one bond C–H coupling constant of 145 Hz, a 1.0 s pulse delay, and 64 scans. All the data was processed using the TopSpin 3.6 software (Bruker BioSpin). The NMR spectra provides structural characteristics information about lignin remaining in solids after CELF (150 °C with 15, 25 and 30 minutes) process and C. thermocellum CBP.
Here we present a curated dataset of a series of two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of lignin isolated from a field grown transgenic poplar engineered with a monolignol 4-O-methyltransferase (MOMT4). The poplar was collected from a 2-year-old rotation trees within a three-year field trial experiment. The poplar was Soxhlet-extracted with toluene/ethanol and the extractives-free poplar was then ball-milled in a Retsch PM100 planetary ball mill using a porcelain jar with ceramic balls at 600 rpm for 2 h (in 5 min on and 5 min off cycles to avoid excessive sample heating). The ball-milled materials were then subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis for 48 h followed by centrifugation and washing with deionized water. The solid residue was extracted twice with 96:4 (v/v) 1,4-dioxane/water mixture at room temperature overnight. The extracts were combined, rotary evaporated, and freeze-dried to recover the lignin. The dry lignin samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide for NMR experiments. 13C–1H HSQC experiments were performed in a Bruker Avance III HD 500 MHz NMR spectrometer operating at a frequency of 125.12 MHz for the 13C nucleus using a standard Bruker pulse sequence (hsqcetgpsisp2.2) on a Prodigy platform cryoprobe. The NMR spectra were acquired under the following acquisition conditions: 220 ppm spectral width in F1 (13C) dimension with 256 data points and 12 ppm spectral width in F2 (1H) dimension with 1024 data points, a 90° pulse, a one bond C–H coupling constant of 145 Hz, a 1.0 s pulse delay, and 64 scans. All the data was processed using the Bruker’s TopSpin 3.6 software. The NMR spectra provides structural characteristics information about lignin in field grown transgenic MOMT4 poplar. Additional meta data is embedded in the raw spectra figures.

The transgenic poplar was collected from a 3-year field trial experiment. The poplar was Soxhlet-extracted with toluene/ethanol and the extractives-free poplar was then ball-milled in a Retsch PM100 planetary ball mill using a porcelain jar with ceramic balls at 600 rpm for 2 h. The ball-milled materials were then subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis for 48 h followed by centrifugation and washing with deionized water.

The dry lignin samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide for NMR characterization. 13C experiments were performed in a Bruker Avance III HD 500 MHz NMR spectrometer operating at a frequency of 125.12 MHz for the 13C nucleus using a standard Bruker pulse sequence (zgpg) on a Prodigy platform cryoprobe. The NMR spectra were acquired under the following conditions: spectra width 229 ppm, 64k data points, 1s pulse delay, and 6k scans. All the data was processed using the Bruker’s TopSpin 3.6 software. Additional meta data is embedded in the raw spectra files.
Here we present a curated dataset of switchgrass cellulose crystallinity index (CrI) measured using solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Seventy-two topline switchgrass lines grown in greenhouse were collected and ground to -20/+80 mesh. The switchgrass was then Soxhlet-extracted with toluene/ethanol for 24 h to remove extractives. The extractives-free switchgrass was holopulped by using peracetic acid at 5 g loading per g biomass and the solution consistency was adjusted to 5% with DI water. Holopulping was conducted at room temperature for 24 h with stirring. The obtained holocellulose was washed excessively with DI water and air-dried at room temperature for 24 h. The dried holocellulose was treated with hydrochloric acid (2.5 M) for 2 h to remove hemicellulose. The isolated cellulose was collected by filtration, rinsed with DI water, and used to analyze cellulose crystallinity by solid-state NMR. The NMR samples were prepared by packing the moisturized cellulose into 4-mm cylindrical Zirconia MAS rotors. Cross polarization/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR analysis of cellulose was carried out on a Bruker Avance III 400-MHz spectrometer operating at 100.59 MHz for 13C in a Bruker double-resonance MAS probe head at spinning speeds of 8 kHz. The CP/MAS experiments utilized a 5 ms (90°) proton pulse, 1.5 ms contact pulse, 4 s recycle delay and 4000 scans. The cellulose crystallinity index was determined from the areas of the cellulose crystalline C4 signal (δ 86-92 ppm) over the entire C4 regions (δ 79-92 ppm) in the NMR spectra.
Here we present a curated dataset of a series of 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of lignin isolated from transgenic monolignol 4-O-methyltransferase (MOMT4) engineered poplar. The transgenic poplar was collected from a 2-year-old rotation trees within a three-year field trial experiment. Two replicates were collected for each transgenic poplar for the 1H NMR analysis. The poplar samples were Soxhlet-extracted with toluene/ethanol to remove the extractives and the extractives-free poplar was then ball-milled in a Retsch PM100 planetary ball mill using a porcelain jar with ceramic balls at 600 rpm for 2 h. The ball-milled materials were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis for 48 h followed by centrifugation and washing with deionized water. The solid residue was extracted twice with 96:4 (v/v) 1,4-dioxane/water mixture at room temperature overnight. The extracts were combined, rotary evaporated, and freeze-dried to recover lignin. The dry lignin samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide and transferred into a 5 mm NMR tube. 1H NMR experiments were performed in a Bruker Avance III HD 500 MHz NMR spectrometer operating at a frequency of 125.12 MHz for the 13C nucleus using a standard Bruker pulse sequence (zg) on a Prodigy platform cryoprobe. The NMR spectra were acquired with 16 ppm spectra width, 32k data points, 3s pulse delay, and 16 scans. All the data was processed using the Bruker’s TopSpin 3.6 software. Additional meta data is embedded in the raw spectra files.
Here we present a curated dataset of two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of lignin isolated from a herbaceous energy crop (Panicum virgatum L.). The lowland variant “Timber” switchgrass from Ernst seeds was used. The switchgrass was knife milled and passed through a 2 mm sieve prior to consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) process. Switchgrass was suspended in Milli-Q water and autoclaved for 90 min on liquid cycles. The residues after autoclaving were then subjected to CBP using coculture of Clostridium thermocellum (C. thermocellum DSM 1313 (LL1004)) and Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccarolyticum ( T. thermosaccharolyticum HG-8 ATCC 31960 (LL1244)). Once-fermented and twice-fermented (FF) switchgrass were subjected to ball and disc milling in bioreactors at 55 °C and 60, 48 grams/L solids loadings for primary and secondary fermentation respectively. When fermentations were completed, the residual solids were rinsed with milli-Q water. Lignin was isolated from the pretreated residues after ball-milling in a porcelain jar with ceramic balls via Retsch PM 200 at 600 rpm for 2 h followed by enzymatic hydrolysis in acetate buffer (pH 4.8, 50 °C) for 48 h. The dry lignin samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (d6) and characterized using 13C–1H HSQC in a Bruker Avance III HD 500-MHz NMR spectrometer. A standard Bruker pulse sequence (hsqcetgpsisp.2) was used on a Prodigy platform cryoprobe. The spectra were acquired with the following acquisition conditions: 230 ppm spectral width in F1 (13C) dimension with 256 data points and 12 ppm spectral width in F2 (1H) dimension with 2048 data points, a 90° pulse, with a C–H coupling constant of 145 Hz, a 1.0 s pulse delay, and 64 scans. Spectra were processed using the Bruker TopSpin 3.6 software.
Here we present a curated dataset of two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of lignin isolated from stems of genetically engineered poplar through auxin signaling gene modification. The plants were grown in greenhouse with temperatures between 21 and 23 °C. Plants were harvested and the aboveground stems were cut off an approximately five-inch-long segment from the bottom end of the plant stem, debarked and air-dried for three weeks. The dried stem samples were Wiley milled (mesh size 20), Soxhlet-extracted with toluene/ethanol for 24 h to remove extractives. The extracted biomass was ball-milled in a Retsch PM100 planetary ball mill using a porcelain jar with ceramic balls at 600 rpm for 2 h (in 5 min on and 5 min off cycles to avoid excessive sample heating). The ball-milled materials were then subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis for 48 h followed by centrifugation and washing with deionized water. The solid residue was freeze-dried to recover the lignin. The dry stem lignin samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (d6) and transferred into a 5 mm tube. 13C–1H HSQC experiments were performed in a Bruker Avance III HD 500 MHz NMR spectrometer operating at a frequency of 125.12 MHz for the 13C nucleus using a standard Bruker pulse sequence on a Prodigy platform cryoprobe. The NMR spectra were acquired under the following acquisition conditions: 230 ppm spectral width in F1 (13C) dimension with 256 data points and 12 ppm spectral width in F2 (1H) dimension with 2048 data points, a 90° pulse, a one bond C–H coupling constant of 145 Hz, a 1.0 s pulse delay, and 64 scans.

Here we present a curated dataset of two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of lignin isolated from roots of a greenhouse grown natural population of an energy crop poplar (Populus trichocarpa). Dormant cuttings of field-grown poplar were grown in 6-liter pots in a peat-based media containing bark, perlite, vermiculite, dolomite lime and a wetting agent in an environmentally controlled greenhouse. Temperatures were between 21 and 23 °C, with supplemental lighting to support a 16-h day length using 1000-watt high-pressure sodium lights in greenhouse. Once established, all plants were cut-back, allowed to regrow and harvested at the same time following an eight-month long growth period. Plants were harvested and the belowground roots were washed off soils, blotted, dried in an oven at 70 °C for 3 days, and Wiley milled (mesh size 20). The roots were Soxhlet-extracted with toluene/ethanol for 24 h to remove extractives. The extracted roots were ball-milled in a Retsch PM100 planetary ball mill using a porcelain jar with ceramic balls at 600 rpm for 2 h (in 5 min on and 5 min off cycles to avoid excessive sample heating). The ball-milled materials were then subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis for 48 h followed by centrifugation and washing with deionized water. The solid residue was extracted twice with 96% (v/v) 1,4-dioxane/water mixture at room temperature overnight. The extracts were combined, rotary evaporated, and freeze-dried to recover lignin.

Spectra were processed using the Bruker TopSpin software. Additional meta data is embedded in the raw spectra figures.
In this study, we analyze both linear and nonlinear color mappings by training on versions of a curated dataset collected in a controlled campus environment. We experiment with color space and color resolution to assess model performance in vehicle recognition tasks. Color encodings can be designed in principle to highlight certain vehicle characteristics or compensate for lighting differences when assessing potential matches to previously encountered objects. The dataset used in this work includes imagery gathered under diverse environmental conditions, including daytime and nighttime lighting. Experimental results inform expectations for possible improvements with automatic color space selection through feature learning. Moreover, we find there is only a gradual decrease in model performance with degraded color resolution, which suggests the need for simplified data collection and processing. By focusing on the most critical features, we could see improved model generalization and robustness, as the model becomes less prone to overfitting to noise or irrelevant details in the data. Such a reduction in resolution will lower computational complexity, leading to quicker training and inference times.
Accurately reconstructing past changes to the shape and volume of the Antarctic ice sheet relies on the use of physically based and thus internally consistent ice sheet modeling, benchmarked against spatially limited geologic data. The challenge in model benchmarking against geologic data is diagnosing whether model-data misfits are the result of an inadequate model, inherently noisy or biased geologic data, and/or incorrect association between modeled quantities and geologic observations. In this work we address this challenge by (i) the development and use of a new model-data evaluation framework applied to an uncurated data set of geologic constraints, and (ii) nested high-spatial-resolution modeling designed to test the hypothesis that model resolution is an important limitation in matching geologic data. While previous approaches to model benchmarking employed highly curated datasets, our approach applies an automated screening and quality control algorithm to an uncurated public dataset of geochronological observations (specifically, cosmogenic-nuclide exposure-age measurements from glacial deposits in ice-free areas). This optimizes data utilization by including more geological constraints, reduces potential interpretive bias, and allows unsupervised assimilation of new data as they are collected. We also incorporate a nested model framework in which high-resolution domains are downscaled from a continent-wide ice sheet model. We highlight the application of this framework by applying these methods to a small ensemble of deglacial ice-sheet model simulations, and demonstrate that the nested approach improves the ability of model simulations to match exposure age data collected from areas of complex topography and ice flow. We develop a range of diagnostic model-data comparison metrics to provide more insight into model performance than possible from a single-valued misfit statistic, showing that different metrics capture different aspects of ice sheet deflation.
“Agnostic” biosignatures – indicators of life (or the absence of life), independent of a particular biochemistry – are increasingly considered a high standard for life detection. The Ladder of Life Detection (2018) called for investigating how combinations of independent and different potential biosignatures affect confidence. To address this gap, statistical classification of elemental abundances, isotopic fractionation, and reflectance spectroscopy (VNIR) has been implemented. Raman spectroscopy, highly desirable due to its wide availability, has the potential to improve this predictive power. This work implemented biosignature classification algorithms on Raman data alone, in preparation for combination with the other data types. Raman spectroscopy data was collected from published databases and papers as part of a manually curated dataset of “indicative” and “non-indicative of life” samples. These currently include 61 non-indicative samples (meteorites, magnetite); 3 indicative living samples (bacteria); 20 indicative non-living samples (chalk, bone); and 12 indicative mixed (with non-indicative material) samples (soil, microbial mats). Laboratory work is ongoing to characterize additional samples, particularly a greater breadth of mixed systems. Spectra were interpolated, filtered with the Savitzsky-Golay filter, and de-noised. For a preliminary examination, agnostic features were manually extracted including mean intensity, number of peaks, and mean peak width. Different peak prominences and filtering polynomials were used to refine features. Classification algorithms were implemented: k-nearest neighbors (KNN), logistic regression (LR), linear support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), Gaussian naïve bayes (GNB). Lastly, Monte Carlo simulations on 1,000 50%-train-test-splits were used to validate classification performance and feature significance. The preliminary feature set achieved its highest AUC of 0.52 with LR, with no strongly discriminatory features. Work to improve feature extraction, such as through deep learning with back propagation, is planned. In future work, the Raman data will be combined with the other data types, and potentially new data types such as enantiomeric excess. This project was partially supported through the NASA Ames Project EXcellence (APEX) incubator program.
