Unsupervised discovery of microbial population structure within metagenomes using nucleotide base composition
An approach to infer the unknown microbial population structure within a metagenome is to cluster nucleotide sequences based on common patterns in base composition, otherwise referred to as binning. When functional roles are assigned to the identified populations, a deeper understanding of microbial communities can be attained, more so than gene-centric approaches that explore overall functiona...
متن کاملStructure Composition Discovery Using Alloy
A method for structure discovery is described. We assume that an unknown composite structure is sampled and observed as a set of small relational structure fractions. Each fraction is described by a set of atoms and their relations. We propose a technique that allows fusing these fractions into large components or the structure itself. The method is demonstrated using an example taken from the ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Discovery of Structure in Activity Data Using Multiple Eigenspaces
In this paper we propose a novel scheme for unsupervised detection of structure in activity data. Our method is based upon an algorithm that represents data in terms of multiple low-dimensional eigenspaces. We describe the algorithm and propose an extension that allows to handle multiple time scales. The validity of the approach is demonstrated on several data sets and using two types of accele...
متن کاملUnsupervised Discovery of Nonlinear Structure Using Contrastive Backpropagation
We describe a way of modeling high-dimensional data vectors by using an unsupervised, nonlinear, multilayer neural network in which the activity of each neuron-like unit makes an additive contribution to a global energy score that indicates how surprised the network is by the data vector. The connection weights that determine how the activity of each unit depends on the activities in earlier la...
