A Review of Support Vector Machines in Computational Biology

چکیده

In the biological sciences, arguably moreso than in any other discipline, the amount of data is available to researchers is exploding exponentially. Making this information available in a consistent, accessible format is itself a non-trivial task, and categorizing or classifying the data in meaningful ways is especially daunting. Laboratory experiment and human review will likely continue to represent the gold standard for reliability in these classification tasks, but these processes are time-consuming and expensive. Consequently, the development of automated replacements for these is an extremely important and widely-studied problem. Due to the scope and complexity of the data in question, statistical and machine learning algorithms are a natural choice for these types of analyses. Support vector machines are a specific type of machine learning algorithm that are among the most widely-used for many statistical learning problems, such as spam filtering, text classification, handwriting analysis, face and object recognition, and countless others. Support vector machines have also come into widespread use in practically every area of bioinformatics within the last ten years, and their area of influence continues to expand today. This paper will present a brief description of support vector machines themselves, followed by a comprehensive study of how SVMs have been and are being used in computational biology, and finally a brief discussion of some novel variations on SVM classification as well as the future of SVMs in bioinformatics.

Mining Biological Repetitive Sequences Using Support Vector Machines and Fuzzy SVM

Structural repetitive subsequences are most important portion of biological sequences, which play crucial roles on corresponding sequence’s fold and functionality. Biggest class of the repetitive subsequences is “Transposable Elements” which has its own sub-classes upon contexts’ structures. Many researches have been performed to criticality determine the structure and function of repetitiv...

A Comparative Study of Extreme Learning Machines and Support Vector Machines in Prediction of Sediment Transport in Open Channels

The limiting velocity in open channels to prevent long-term sedimentation is predicted in this paper using a powerful soft computing technique known as Extreme Learning Machines (ELM). The ELM is a single Layer Feed-forward Neural Network (SLFNN) with a high level of training speed. The dimensionless parameter of limiting velocity which is known as the densimetric Froude number (Fr) is predicte...
