Summary: Based on household-level panel data from China and a quantitative framework, this study examines the extent and consequences of factor misallocation in agriculture. It finds that within-village frictions in land and capital markets, linked to rural land institutions, disproportionately constrain more productive farmers. These frictions reduce aggregate agricultural productivity by affecting resource allocation across farmers and worker allocation across sectors, particularly in terms of the type of farmers operating in agriculture.

Summary: This study demonstrates a strong correlation between Google search activity and employment growth in the United States, showing that Google search results are an effective predictor for future employment growth. By constructing a large panel of 172 variables and utilizing Google's own algorithms to find semantically related search queries, the Google Trends model outperforms other predictors in its ability to forecast employment growth.

Summary: This study proposes a graph convolutional autoencoder and generative adversarial network (GAN) based method (GANDTI) for predicting novel drug-target interactions (DTIs). By constructing a drug-target heterogeneous network and regularizing the feature vectors of nodes into a Gaussian distribution, GANDTI outperforms other methods for drug repositioning.

Summary: Membrane proteins, encoded by a significant portion of human genes, account for a majority of FDA-approved drug targets. The RCSB Protein Data Bank web portal has made recent improvements by integrating a wealth of new membrane protein annotations from external resources. These enhancements greatly enhance the presentation of membrane protein data and provide users with tools for searching and visualizing these proteins.

Summary: Motivated by the need for effective approaches to integrate single-cell multi-omics data, this study presents Pamona, a partial Gromov-Wasserstein distance-based manifold alignment framework. It aims to delineate and represent the shared and dataset-specific cellular structures across modalities. Pamona demonstrates superior performance in accurately identifying shared and dataset-specific cells, recovering and aligning cellular structures, outperforming existing methods. The framework also allows for the incorporation of prior information to enhance alignment quality.

Summary: A drug-drug interaction (DDI) refers to the association between drugs where one drug's pharmacological effects are influenced by another drug. This study proposes a novel method, called DDI-IS-SL, to predict DDIs using integrated similarity and semi-supervised learning. DDI-IS-SL combines drug chemical, biological, and phenotype data to calculate the feature similarity of drugs. It also uses a semi-supervised learning method to calculate the interaction possibility scores of drug-drug pairs. DDI-IS-SL demonstrates better prediction performance and shorter computation time compared to other methods, and its performance is further supported by case studies.

Summary: Tracking dynamic modules during cancer progression is crucial for studying cancer pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy. Current algorithms focusing on detecting dynamic modules without integrating heterogeneous genomic data have limitations, which this study addresses by proposing a novel algorithm (TANMF) that integrates temporal networks and gene attributes. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of TANMF in accuracy and its ability to identify dynamic modules associated with patients' survival time in breast cancer data.

Summary: Most causal inference methods focus on fixed values of exposure under interventions, which may not be practical for continuous or multi-valued treatments. Longitudinal modified treatment policies (LMTPs) provide an alternative that yields immediate and practically relevant effects, with an interpretation in terms of meaningful interventions such as changing the exposure by a specific amount. LMTPs also have the advantage of satisfying the positivity assumption required for causal inference.

Summary: This article proposes a nonuniform subsampling method based on Poisson subsampling to address the computational burden issue for massive data. The optimal subsampling probabilities are derived under the quasi-likelihood estimation and their consistency and asymptotic normality are established. A distributed subsampling framework is also developed for handling data stored in different locations. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated through numerical experiments on simulated and real datasets.

This study proposes a deep learning framework, called deep barcoding, for species classification using DNA barcodes. By utilizing raw sequence data and deep convolutional neural networks, the deep barcoding model achieves high accuracy in species identification. Although there are challenges, the deep barcoding model has the potential to be an effective tool for species classification.

Summary: The classical modeling of spatial extremes is often too rigid and fails to capture the localized nature of severe events. It is also computationally challenging or less efficient to fit classical spatial extremes models in high dimensions. Recent progress includes new models with flexible tail structures and likelihood-based inference methods for large datasets.
