Background: The aim of protein design is to predict amino-acid sequences compatible with a given target structure. Traditionally envisioned as a purely thermodynamic question, thi...
A common statistical model for paired comparisons is the Bradley-Terry model. This research re-parameterizes the Bradley-Terry model as a single-layer artificial neural network (A...
