Background: Estimation of DNA duplex hybridization free energy is widely used for predicting cross-hybridizations in DNA computing and microarray experiments. A number of software...
In an important recent paper, Yedidia, Freeman, and Weiss [11] showed that there is a close connection between the belief propagation algorithm for probabilistic inference and the...

The adaptive TAP Gibbs free energy for a general densely connected probabilistic model with quadratic interactions and arbritary single site constraints is derived. We show how a ...
We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
: Ionizing radiation alters DNA strands and mainly creates multiply damaged sites (MDS), e.g. two or more damaged sites within one or two turns of the DNA (10 to 20 base pairs). Th...

The history of molecular biology is punctuated by a series of discoveries demonstrating the surprising breadth of biological roles of ribonucleic acid (RNA). An ensemble of evoluti...
Inference problems in graphical models can be represented as a constrained optimization of a free energy function. It is known that when the Bethe free energy is used, the fixedpo...
We establish the existence of free energy limits for several sparse random hypergraph models corresponding to certain combinatorial models on Erd¨os-R´enyi graph G(N, c/N) and r...
This paper addresses the problem of Voice Active Detection (VAD) in noisy environments. We introduce Variational Bayes approach to EM for classification to replace the heuristic ...
Abstract. There is a resurgence of interest in RNA secondary structure prediction problem (a.k.a. the RNA folding problem) due to the discovery of many new families of non-coding R...
