Background: Members of a protein family often have highly conserved sequences; most of these sequences carry identical biological functions and possess similar three-dimensional (...
Many bioinformatics applications would benefit from comparing proteins based on their biological role rather than their sequence. In most biological databases, proteins are alrea...
There is need for more formal specification of recognition tasks. Currently, it is common to use labeled training samples to illustrate the task to be performed. The mathematical ...

Background: Machine-learning tools have gained considerable attention during the last few years for analyzing biological networks for protein function prediction. Kernel methods a...
Fitness functions based on test cases are very common in Genetic Programming (GP). This process can be assimilated to a learning task, with the inference of models from a limited n...
