TS: A powerful truncated test to detect novel disease associated genes using publicly available gWAS summary data

This article proposes a new truncated statistic method (TS) by utilizing a truncated method to find the genes that have a true contribution to the genetic association. The proposed truncated statistic outperforms existing methods. It can be employed to detect novel traits associated genes using GWAS summary data.

It’s not a Non-Issue: Negation as a Source of Error in Machine Translation

Article investigates whether translating negation is an issue for modern MT systems using 17 translation directions as test bed and provides a linguistically motivated analysis that explains the majority of the findings. The authors release their annotations and code to replicate analysis here: https://github.com/mosharafhossain/negation-mt.
