Author-ity 2009 baseline dataset. Prepared by Vetle Torvik 2009-12-03
The dataset comes in the form of 18 compressed (.gz) linux text files named authority2009.part00.gz - authority2009.part17.gz. The total size should be ~17.4GB uncompressed.
• How was the dataset created?
The dataset is based on a snapshot of PubMed (which includes Medline and PubMed-not-Medline records) taken in July 2009. A total of 19,011,985 Article records and 61,658,514 author name instances. Each instance of an author name is uniquely represented by the PMID and the position on the paper (e.g., 10786286_3 is the third author name on PMID 10786286). Thus, each cluster is represented by a collection of author name instances. The instances were first grouped into "blocks" by last name and first name initial (including some close variants), and then each block was separately subjected to clustering. Details are described in
<i>Torvik, V., & Smalheiser, N. (2009). Author name disambiguation in MEDLINE. ACM Transactions On Knowledge Discovery From Data, 3(3), doi:10.1145/1552303.1552304</i>
<i>Torvik, V. I., Weeber, M., Swanson, D. R., & Smalheiser, N. R. (2005). A Probabilistic Similarity Metric for Medline Records: A Model for Author Name Disambiguation. Journal Of The American Society For Information Science & Technology, 56(2), 140-158. doi:10.1002/asi.20105</i>
Note that for Author-ity 2009, some new predictive features (e.g., grants, citations matches, temporal, affiliation phrases) and a post-processing merging procedure were applied (to capture name variants not capture during blocking e.g. matches for subsets of compound last name matches, and nicknames with different first initial like Bill and William), and a temporal feature was used -- this has not yet been written up for publication.
• How accurate is the 2009 dataset (compared to 2006 and 2009)?
The recall reported for 2006 of 98.8% has been much improved in 2009 (because common last name variants are now captured). Compared to 2006, both years 2008 and 2009 overall seem to exhibit a higher rate of splitting errors but lower rate of lumping errors. This reflects an overall decrease in prior probabilites -- possibly because e.g. a) new prior estimation procedure that avoid wild estimates (by dampening the magnitude of iterative changes); b) 2008 and 2009 included items in Pubmed-not-Medline (including in-process items); and c) and the dramatic (exponential) increase in frequencies of some names (J. Lee went from ~16,000 occurrences in 2006 to 26,000 in 2009.) Although, splitting is reduced in 2009 for some special cases like NIH funded investigators who list their grant number of their papers. Compared to 2008, splitting errors were reduced overall in 2009 while maintaining the same level of lumping errors.
• What is the format of the dataset?
The cluster summaries for 2009 are much more extenstive than the 2008 dataset. Each line corresponds to a predicted author-individual represented by cluster of author name instances and a summary of all the corresponding papers and author name variants (and if there are > 10 papers in the cluster, an identical summary of the 10 most recent papers). Each cluster has a unique Author ID (which is uniquely identified by the PMID of the earliest paper in the cluster and the author name position. The summary has the following tab-delimited fields:
1. blocks separated by '||'; each block may consist of multiple lastname-first initial variants separated by '|'
2. prior probabilities of the respective blocks separated by '|'
3. Cluster number relative to the block ordered by cluster size (some are listed as 'CLUSTER X' when they were derived from multiple blocks)
4. Author ID (or cluster ID) e.g., bass_c_9731334_2 represents a cluster where 9731334_2 is the earliest author name instance. Although not needed for uniqueness, the id also has the most frequent lastname_firstinitial (lowercased).
5. cluster size (number of author name instances on papers)
6. name variants separated by '|' with counts in parenthesis. Each variant of the format lastname_firstname middleinitial, suffix
7. last name variants separated by '|'
8. first name variants separated by '|'
9. middle initial variants separated by '|' ('-' if none)
10. suffix variants separated by '|' ('-' if none)
11. email addresses separated by '|' ('-' if none)
12. range of years (e.g., 1997-2009)
13. Top 20 most frequent affiliation words (after stoplisting and tokenizing; some phrases are also made) with counts in parenthesis; separated by '|'; ('-' if none)
14. Top 20 most frequent MeSH (after stoplisting; "-") with counts in parenthesis; separated by '|'; ('-' if none)
15. Journals with counts in parenthesis (separated by "|"),
16. Top 20 most frequent title words (after stoplisting and tokenizing) with counts in parenthesis; separated by '|'; ('-' if none)
17. Co-author names (lowercased lastname and first/middle initials) with counts in parenthesis; separated by '|'; ('-' if none)
18. Co-author IDs with counts in parenthesis; separated by '|'; ('-' if none)
19. Author name instances (PMID_auno separated '|')
20. Grant IDs (after normalization; "-" if none given; separated by "|"),
21. Total number of times cited. (Citations are based on references extracted from PMC).
22. h-index
23. Citation counts (e.g., for h-index): PMIDs by the author that have been cited (with total citation counts in parenthesis); separated by "|"
24. Cited: PMIDs that the author cited (with counts in parenthesis) separated by "|"
25. Cited-by: PMIDs that cited the author (with counts in parenthesis) separated by "|"
26-47. same summary as for 4-25 except that the 10 most recent papers were used (based on year; so if paper 10, 11, 12... have the same year, one is selected arbitrarily)

We present a dataset collected from a canoe along the Sangamon River in Illinois. The canoe was equipped with a stereo camera, an IMU, and a GPS device, which provide visual data suitable for stereo or monocular applications, inertial measurements, and position data for ground truth. We recorded a canoe trip up and down the river for 44 minutes covering 2.7 km round trip. The dataset adds to those previously recorded in unstructured environments and is unique in that it is recorded on a river, which provides its own set of challenges and constraints that are described
in this paper. The data is divided into subsets, which can be downloaded individually.

The information below can also be found in the README files provided in the 527 dataset and each of its subsets. The purpose of this document is to assist researchers in using this dataset.
Images
======
Raw
---
The raw images are stored in the cam0 and cam1 directories in bmp format. They are bayered images that need to be debayered and undistorted before they are used. The camera parameters for these images can be found in camchain-imucam.yaml. Note that the camera intrinsics describe a 1600x1200 resolution image, so the focal length and center pixel coordinates must be scaled by 0.5 before they are used. The distortion coefficients remain the same even for the scaled images. The camera to imu tranformation matrix is also in this file. cam0/ refers to the left camera, and cam1/ refers to the right camera.
Rectified
---------
Stereo rectified, undistorted, row-aligned, debayered images are stored in the rectified/ directory in the same way as the raw images except that they are in png format. The params.yaml file contains the projection and rotation matrices necessary to use these images. The resolution of these parameters do not need to be scaled as is necessary for the raw images.
params.yml
----------
The stereo rectification parameters. R0,R1,P0,P1, and Q correspond to the outputs of the OpenCV stereoRectify function except that 1s and 2s are replaced by 0s and 1s, respectively.
R0: The rectifying rotation matrix of the left camera.
R1: The rectifying rotation matrix of the right camera.
P0: The projection matrix of the left camera.
P1: The projection matrix of the right camera.
Q: Disparity to depth mapping matrix
T_cam_imu: Transformation matrix for a point in the IMU frame to the left camera frame.
camchain-imucam.yaml
--------------------
The camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters and the camera to IMU transformation usable with the raw images.
T_cam_imu: Transformation matrix for a point in the IMU frame to the camera frame.
distortion_coeffs: lens distortion coefficients using the radial tangential model.
intrinsics: focal length x, focal length y, principal point x, principal point y
resolution: resolution of calibration. Scale the intrinsics for use with the raw 800x600 images. The distortion coefficients do not change when the image is scaled.
T_cn_cnm1: Transformation matrix from the right camera to the left camera.

Camera logs
-----------
The files name.cam0 and name.cam1 are text files that correspond to cameras 0 and 1, respectively. The columns are defined by:
unused: The first column is all 1s and can be ignored.
software frame number: This number increments at the end of every iteration of the software loop.
camera frame number: This number is generated by the camera and increments each time the shutter is triggered. The software and camera frame numbers do not have to start at the same value, but if the difference between the initial and final values is not the same, it suggests that frames may have been dropped.
camera timestamp: This is the cameras internal timestamp of the frame capture in units of 100 milliseconds.
PC timestamp: This is the PC time of arrival of the image.
name.kml
--------
The kml file is a mapping file that can be read by software such as Google Earth. It contains the recorded GPS trajectory.
name.unicsv
-----------
This is a csv file of the GPS trajectory in UTM coordinates that can be read by gpsbabel, software for manipulating GPS paths.

This dataset includes image stacks, annotated counts, and ground-truth masks from two high-resolution sediment cores extracted from Laguna Pallcacocha, in El Cajas National Park, Ecuadorian Andes by Moy et al. (2002) and Hagemans et al. (2021). The first core (PAL 1999, from Moy et al. (2002)) extends through the Holocene (11,600 cal. yr. BP - present). There are a total of 900 annotated image stacks and masks in the PAL 1999 domain. The second core (PAL IV, from Hagemans et al. (2021)) captures the 20th century. There are 2986 annotated image stacks and masks in the PAL IV domain.
Different microscopes and annotations tools were used to image and annotate each core and there are corresponding differences in naming conventions and file formats. Thus, we organized our data separately for the PAL 1999 and the PAL IV domains. The three letter codes used to label our pollen annotations are in the file: “Pollen_Identification_Codes.xlsx”.
Both domain directories contain:
• Image stacks organized by subdirectory
• Annotations within each image stack directory, containing specimen identifications using a three letter code and coordinates defining bounding boxes or circles
• Ground-truth distance-transform masks for each image stack
The zip file "bestValModel_encoder.paramOnly.zip" is the trained pollen detection model produced from the images and annotations in this dataset.

Sugarcane, a tropical C4 grass in the genus Saccharum (Poaceae), accounts for nearly 80% of sugar produced worldwide and is also an important feedstock for biofuel production. Generating transgenic sugarcane with predictable and stable transgene expression is critical for crop improvement. In this study, we generated a highly expressed single copy locus as landing pad for transgene stacking. Transgenic sugarcane lines with stable integration of a single copy nptII expression cassette flanked by insulators supported higher transgene expression along with reduced line to line variation when compared to single copy events without insulators by NPTII ELISA analysis. Subsequently, the nptII selectable marker gene was efficiently excised from the sugarcane genome by the FLPe/FRT site-specific recombination system to create selectable marker free plants. This study provides valuable resources for future gene stacking using site-specific recombination or genome editing tools.
