Journal ArticleDOI

Machine learning in bioinformatics

TL;DR: Modelling methods, such as supervised classification, clustering and probabilistic graphical models for knowledge discovery, as well as deterministic and stochastic heuristics for optimization, are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on evolutionary algorithms in Bayesian network learning and inference tasks

TL;DR: This paper reviews the application of evolutionary algorithms for solving some NP-hard optimization tasks in Bayesian network inference and learning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein Folding in Simplified Models With Estimation of Distribution Algorithms

TL;DR: It is argued that EDAs are an efficient alternative for many instances of the protein structure prediction problem and are indeed appropriate for a theoretical analysis of search procedures in lattice models.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of estimation of distribution algorithms in bioinformatics

TL;DR: A basic taxonomy of EDA techniques is set out, underlining the nature and complexity of the probabilistic model of each EDA variant, and emphasizing the EDA paradigm's potential for further research in this domain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of Distribution Algorithms with Kikuchi Approximations

TL;DR: The method combines a reformulation of a probability approximation procedure known in statistical physics as the Kikuchi approximation of energy, with a novel approach for finding graph decompositions and can outperform other EDAs that use traditional methods of probability approximation in the optimization of functions with strong interactions among their variables.
