Background: Protein folding rate is an important property of a protein. Predicting protein folding rate is useful for understanding protein folding process and guiding protein des...
Support vector machines and kernel methods have recently gained considerable attention in chemoinformatics. They offer generally good performance for problems of supervised classi...
The tutorial starts with an overview of the concepts of VC dimension and structural risk minimization. We then describe linear Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for separable and non-...
The standard SVM formulation for binary classification is based on the Hinge loss function, where errors are considered not correlated. Due to this, local information in the featu...
The choice of the kernel function which determines the mapping between the input space and the feature space is of crucial importance to kernel methods. The past few years have se...
