Background: The problem of protein structure prediction consists of predicting the functional or native structure of a protein given its linear sequence of amino acids. This probl...
Preserving individual privacy when publishing data is a problem that is receiving increasing attention. According to the k-anonymity principle, each release of data must be such th...
The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. In this paper, we consider the automated learning of the kernel matrix over a convex combination of pre-specified kerne...
Distributing scarce resources among agents in a way that maximizes the social welfare of the group is a computationally hard problem when the value of a resource bundle is not lin...
Face recognition algorithms need to deal with variable
lighting conditions. Near infrared (NIR) image based face
recognition technology has been proposed to effectively
