We study the properties of the Minimum Description Length principle for sequence prediction, considering a two-part MDL estimator which is chosen from a countable class of models....
Background: The imprint of natural selection on gene sequences is often difficult to detect. A plethora of methods have been devised to detect genetic changes due to selective pro...

Background: Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are short and error-prone DNA sequences generated from the 5' and 3' ends of randomly selected cDNA clones. They provide an im...

Protein-protein interaction networks, particularly that of the yeast S. Cerevisiae, have recently been studied extensively. These networks seem to satisfy the small world property ...
Many computer vision problems can be formulated in
a Bayesian framework with Markov Random Field (MRF)
or Conditional Random Field (CRF) priors. Usually, the
model assumes that ...
