Epilepsy-related sudden death occurs following uncontrolled recurrent seizure which are usually non-responsive to antiepileptic drugs. These patients found dead in bed usually following heart and respiratory arrest. It is not known whether seizure-affected brain regions regulating cardiorespiratory function play a role in this complication and if so, what is the mechanism underneath in order to […]

Machine learning has been applied in various fields and shown promising results in recent years. Researchers have found that tuning machine learning models in a proper way can vastly boost the model performance with respect to the specific AI task. However, tuning machine learning models at scale, especially finding the right hyperparameter values, can be […]

The recent outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 associated coronavirus disease, COVID-19, had been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. There is still only a minimal understanding of the virus and an absence of effective targeted therapy for its treatment. Epigenetic regulations in cells control the expression of genes without modifications to the genetic […]
