—We investigate the problem of retrieving similar shapes from a large database; in particular, we focus on medical tumor shapes (“Find tumors that are similar to a given patter...
—A fast online algorithm OnlineSVMR for training Ramp-Loss Support Vector Machines (SVMR s) is proposed. It finds the optimal SVMR for t+1 training examples using SVMR built on t...
Regular expression pattern matching is widely used in computational biology. Searching through a database of sequences for a motif (a simple regular expression), or its variations...
This paper introduces a new family of string classifiers based on local relatedness. We use three types of local relatedness measurements, namely, longest common substrings (LCStr&...
