This chapter provides lucid and easy to understand details of SVM algorithms along with applications in virology, one such robust tool based rigorously on statistical learning theory.Abstract:
Novel experimental and sequencing techniques have led to an exponential explosion and spiraling of data in viral genomics. To analyse such data, rapidly gain information, and transform this information to knowledge, interdisciplinary approaches involving several different types of expertise are necessary. Machine learning has been in the forefront of providing models with increasing accuracy due to development of newer paradigms with strong fundamental bases. Support Vector Machines (SVM) is one such robust tool, based rigorously on statistical learning theory. SVM provides very high quality and robust solutions to classification and regression problems. Several studies in virology employ high performance tools including SVM for identification of potentially important gene and protein functions. This is mainly due to the highly beneficial aspects of SVM. In this chapter we briefly provide lucid and easy to understand details of SVM algorithms along with applications in virology.read more

A machine learning based analysis to probe the relationship between odorant structure and olfactory behaviour in C. elegans
Aayushi Vishnoi,Rati Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use olfactory behaviour data from the nematode C. elegans, which has isogenic populations in a laboratory setting, and employ machine learning approaches for a binary classification task predicting whether or not the worm will be attracted to a given monomolecular odorant.
