Background: Support Vector Machines (SVMs) ? using a variety of string kernels ? have been successfully applied to biological sequence classification problems. While SVMs achieve ...
Kernel methods have been shown to be very effective for applications requiring the modeling of structured objects. However kernels for structures usually are too computational dem...

In this paper, we introduce a simple but efficient greedy algorithm, called SINCO, for the Sparse INverse COvariance selection problem, which is equivalent to learning a sparse Ga...
The Hierarchical Hidden Markov Model (HHMM) is a well formalized tool suitable to model complex patterns in long temporal or spatial sequences. Even if effective algorithms are ava...
Optimization problems with a nuclear norm regularization, such as e.g. low norm matrix factorizations, have seen many applications recently. We propose a new approximation algorit...
