CMPUT 606 Computational Biology & Bioinformatics Project Proposal A General Survey of Hidden Markov Models in Bioinformatics
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction This project proposal will be divided into two sections: background and objectives. The background section will briefly outline the high-level theories behind Hidden Markov Models, and then go on to mention some successful and well-known biological technologies that make use of Hidden Markov Model theory. It is intended to be only a tiny preview of what the final project will eventually discuss in full detail. The objectives section will discuss what I intend to accomplish with this project, and what I would like to accomplish beyond the initial goals, should time and opportunity permit.

Hidden Markov Models in Bioinformatics with Application to Gene Finding in Human DNA 308-761 Machine Learning Project
A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a stochastic model that captures the statistical properties of observed real world data. A good HMM accurately models the real world source of the observed data and has the ability to simulate the source. Machine Learning techniques based on HMMs have been successfully applied to problems including speech recognition, optical character recognition, and as we will ...
متن کاملHidden Markov models in biological sequence
The vast increase of data in biology has meant that many aspects of computational science have been drawn into the field. Two areas of crucial importance are large-scale data management and machine learning. The field between computational science and biology is varyingly described as “computational biology” or “bioinformatics.” This paper reviews machine learning techniques based on the use of...
متن کاملHMMoC - a compiler for hidden Markov models
UNLABELLED Hidden Markov models are widely applied within computational biology. The large data sets and complex models involved demand optimized implementations, while efficient exploration of model space requires rapid prototyping. These requirements are not met by existing solutions, and hand-coding is time-consuming and error-prone. Here, I present a compiler that takes over the mechanical ...

متن کاملCOACH: profile-profile alignment of protein families using hidden Markov models
MOTIVATION Alignments of two multiple-sequence alignments, or statistical models of such alignments (profiles), have important applications in computational biology. The increased amount of information in a profile versus a single sequence can lead to more accurate alignments and more sensitive homolog detection in database searches. Several profile-profile alignment methods have been proposed ...
