Inferring unstable equilibrium configurations from experimental data

Inferring protein interactions from experimental data by association probabilistic method.

To elucidate protein interaction networks is one of the major goals of functional genomics for whole organisms. So far, various computational methods have been proposed for inference of protein-protein interactions. Based on the association method by Sprinzak et al., we propose an association probabilistic method in this short communication to infer protein interactions directly from the experi...

Inferring stance in news broadcasts from prosodic-feature configurations

Speech conveys many things beyond content, including aspects of appraisal, feeling, and attitude that have not been much studied. In this work we identify 14 aspects of stance that occur frequently in radio news stories and that could be useful for information retrieval, including indications of subjectivity, immediacy, local relevance, and newness. We observe that newsreaders often mark their ...

Inferring affect from fMRI data.

Neuroimaging findings are often interpreted in terms of affective experience, but researchers disagree about the advisability or even possibility of such inferences, and few frameworks explicitly link these levels of analysis. Here, we suggest that the spatial and temporal resolution of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data could support inferences about affective states. Specifical...

Inferring purging from pedigree data.

The harmful effects of inbreeding can be reduced if deleterious recessive alleles were removed (purged) by selection against homozygotes in earlier generations. If only a few generations are involved, purging is due almost entirely to recessive alleles that reduce fitness to near zero. In this case the amount of purging and allele frequency change can be inferred approximately from pedigree dat...
