Abstract. Hierarchical classification problems gained increasing attention within the machine learning community, and several methods for hierarchically structured taxonomies have...
A large number of computer tasks can be modeled as the search for an object near a given query. From multimedia databases to learning algorithms, data mining and pattern recognitio...
Background: Computational methods for characterizing novel transcription factor binding sites search for sequence patterns or "motifs" that appear repeatedly in genomic ...
Motivation: High-throughput expression profiling allows researchers to study gene activities globally. Genes with similar expression profiles are likely to encode proteins that ma...
Background: Biologists are often interested in performing a simple database search to identify proteins or genes that contain a well-defined sequence pattern. Many databases do no...
