We present a new machine learning approach to the inverse parametric sequence alignment problem: given as training examples a set of correct pairwise global alignments, find the p...
In this paper, we consider the problem of partitioning a small data sample drawn from a mixture of k product distributions. We are interested in the case that individual features a...
