— The Smith-Waterman algorithm is a dynamic programming method for determining optimal local alignments between nucleotide or protein sequences. However, it suffers from quadrati...
We propose a new theoretical framework for generalizing the traditional notion of covariance. First, we discuss the role of pairwise cross-cumulants by introducing a cluster expan...
Clustering performance can often be greatly improved by
leveraging side information. In this paper, we consider constrained
clustering with pairwise constraints, which specify
s...
