Concentration inequalities that incorporate variance information (such as Bernstein's or Bennett's inequality) are often significantly tighter than counterparts (such as...
In genomic sequence analysis tasks like splice site recognition or promoter identification, large amounts of training sequences are available, and indeed needed to achieve suffici...
Recently, some non-coding small RNAs, known as microRNAs (miRNA), have drawn a lot of attention to identify their role in gene regulation and various biological processes. The miRN...
Currently the best algorithms for transcription factor binding site predictions are severely limited in accuracy. However, a non-linear combination of these algorithms could improv...

We describe and analyze a simple and effective iterative algorithm for solving the optimization problem cast by Support Vector Machines (SVM). Our method alternates between stocha...
