Artificial Intelligence: Current Perspectives and Alternative Paths

Alternative splicing: current perspectives.

Alternative splicing is a well-characterized mechanism by which multiple transcripts are generated from a single mRNA precursor. By allowing production of several protein isoforms from one pre-mRNA, alternative splicing contributes to proteomic diversity. But what do we know about the origin of this mechanism? Do the same evolutionary forces apply to alternatively and constitutively splice exon...

Artificial Intelligence Perspectives on Granular Computing

The theory of rough sets, proposed by Pawlak (1982, 1991, 1998; Pawlak and Skowron, 2007a, 2007b), offers systematic approaches for analyzing information tables in terms of indiscernibility, granulation and approximations. It has led to many useful and effective approaches for data analysis and machine learning. The notions of indiscernability and definability can be defined by a decision logic...

Differing Methodological Perspectives in Artificial Intelligence Research

A variety of proposals for preferred methodological approaches has been advanced in the recent artificial intelligence (AI) literature Rather than advocating a particular approach, this article attempts to explain the apparent confusion of efforts in the field in terms of differences among underlying methodological perspectives held by practicing researchers The article presents a review of suc...

Future paths for integer programming and links to artificial intelligence

Integer programming has benefited from many innovations in models and methods. Some of the promising directions for elaborating these innovations in the future may be viewed from a framework that links the perspectives of artificial intelligence and operations research. To demonstrate this, four key areas are examined: (1) controlled randomization, (2) learning strategies, (3) induced decomposi...
