Multi-resolution methods are widely used in scientific visualization, image processing, and computer graphics. While many applications only require an one-time construction of the...
Background: Inference of evolutionary trees using the maximum likelihood principle is NP-hard. Therefore, all practical methods rely on heuristics. The topological transformations...
This paper describes a hybrid parsing method for Japanese which uses both a hand-crafted grammar and a statistical technique. The key feature of our system is that in order to est...
: Accurate reconstruction of phylogenetic trees very often involves solving hard optimization problems, particularly the maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) problems...

Background: The neighbor-joining method by Saitou and Nei is a widely used method for constructing phylogenetic trees. The formulation of the method gives rise to a canonical (n3)...
