Chinese herbal medicine anticancer cocktail soup activates immune cells to kill colon cancer cells by regulating the gut microbiota-Th17 axis

Chinese herbal medicines are effective for treating colon cancer (CC).CC development is reportedly associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis and immune function dysregulation.Herein we explored the therapeutic effects of a Chinese herbal medicine anticancer cocktail soup (CHMACS) on mice with CC and also explored its regulatory effects on gut microb

Comparing neural sentence encoders for topic segmentation across domains: not your typical text similarity task

Neural sentence encoders (NSE) are effective in many NLP tasks, including topic segmentation.However, no systematic comparison of their performance in topic segmentation has been performed.Here, we present such a comparison, using supervised and unsupervised segmentation models based on NSEs.We first compare results with baselines, showing that the
