The Homology Kernel: A Biologically Motivated Sequence Embedding into Euclidean Space
— Part of the challenge of modeling protein sequences is their discrete nature. Many of the most powerful statistical and learning techniques are applicable to points in a Euclid...

Improving model construction of profile HMMs for remote homology detection through structural alignment
Background: Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addre...

Protein homology detection with biologically inspired features and interpretable statistical models
: Computational classification of proteins using methods such as string kernels and Fisher-SVM has demonstrated great success. However, the resulting models do not offer an immedia...

Optimizing amino acid substitution matrices with a local alignment kernel
Background: Detecting remote homologies by direct comparison of protein sequences remains a challenging task. We had previously developed a similarity score between sequences, cal...

On single and multiple models of protein families for the detection of remote sequence relationships
Background: The detection of relationships between a protein sequence of unknown function and a sequence whose function has been characterised enables the transfer of functional a...
