In recent years, there has been a proliferation of theoretical graph models, e.g., preferential attachment and small-world models, motivated by real-world graphs such as the Inter...
: Probabilistic models for biological sequences (DNA and proteins) are frequently used in bioinformatics. We describe statistical tests designed to detect the order of dependency a...
We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to...

—Adapting the hyperparameters of support vector machines (SVMs) is a challenging model selection problem, especially when flexible kernels are to be adapted and data are scarce....
Background: The development, in the last decade, of stochastic heuristics implemented in robust application softwares has made large phylogeny inference a key step in most compara...
