VA Community Determinants of Health Data Curation Documentation FY26-Q3

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) places the health and well-being of our nation’s veterans as its top priority. VA is dedicated to offering timely access to high-quality, evidence-based mental health care that meets the needs of veterans and supports their reintegration into society. One of our core missions is to prevent suicide among veterans through innovative approaches and resources.

SCITUNE: Aligning Large Language Models with Human-Curated Scientific Multimodal Instructions

Instruction finetuning is a popular paradigm to align large language models (LLM) with human intent. Despite its popularity, this idea is less explored in improving the LLMs to align existing foundation models with scientific disciplines, concepts and goals. In this work, we present SciTune as a tuning framework to improve the ability of LLMs to follow scientific multimodal instructions. To test our methodology, we use a human-generated scientific instruction tuning dataset and train a large multimodal model LLaMA-SciTune that connects a vision encoder and LLM for science-focused visual and language understanding. LLaMA-SciTune significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art models in the generated figure types and captions in multiple scientific multimodal benchmarks. In comparison to the models that are fine-tuned with machine generated data only, LLaMA-SciTune surpasses human performance on average and in many sub-categories on the ScienceQA benchmark.

SG50 Data-format Specifications Document for the Automatically Readable, Comprehensive, and Curated Experimental Reaction Database MEDUSAL

The aim of this document is to lay out a first draft of the specifications for the MEDUSAL database (Machine-readable Experimental Data User App & Library) that is being described by OECD/NEA/WPEC SG-50. The EXFOR database (Otuka et al., 2014) has a format that is based on code-value pairs, and a significant portion of the information in the EXFOR entry is contained in free text sections. Several high-level requirements for the MEDUSAL database, as laid out in the Use Cases and Requirements Working Paper (citation), relate to the definition of the specifications

Using online tools at the Bovine Genome Database to manually annotate genes in the new reference genome

With the availability of a new highly contiguous Bos taurus reference genome assembly (ARS-UCD1.2), it is the opportune time to upgrade the bovine gene set by seeking input from researchers. Furthermore, advances in graphical genome annotation tools now make it possible for researchers to leverage sequence data generated with the latest technologies to collaboratively curate genes. For many years the Bovine Genome Database (BGD) has provided tools such as the APOLLO genome annotation editor to support manual bovine gene curation. The goal of this paper is to explain the reasoning behind the decisions made in the manual gene curation process while providing examples using the existing BGD tools. We will describe the sources of gene annotation evidence provided at the BGD, including RNAseq and Iso-Seq data. We will also explain how to interpret various data visualizations when curating gene models, and will demonstrate the value of manual gene annotation. The process described here can be applied to manual gene curation for other species with similar tools. With a better understanding of manual gene annotation, researchers will be encouraged to edit gene models and contribute to the enhancement of livestock gene sets.
