We present software that reconstructs genomes from shotgun metagenomic sequences using a reference-independent approach. This method permits the identification of OTUs in large complex communities where many species are unknown. Binning reduces the complexity of a metagenomic dataset enabling many downstream analyses previously unavailable. In this study we developed MetaBAT, a robust statistic...

In this paper, we consider the problem of pure information transmission and channel state estimation via state dependent channels. We show that the knowledge of auxiliary random variable, used in the codebook construction of random binning techniques, is sufficient to perform the optimal channel state estimation. We compare the obtained results with optimal rate-distortion region obtained using...

In multi-label classification, where a single example may be associated with several class labels at the same time, ability to model dependencies between is considered crucial effectively optimize non-decomposable evaluation measures, such as Subset 0/1 loss. The gradient boosting framework provides well-studied foundation for learning models that are specifically tailored loss function and rec...

In this paper, we analyze a possibility of reversibility of datahiding techniques based on random binning from multimedia perspectives. We demonstrate the capabilities of unauthorized users to perform hidden data removal using solely a signal processing approach based on optimal estimation as well as consider reversibility on the side of authorized users who have the knowledge of key used for t...

Abstract Various distribution free goodness-of-fit test procedures have been extracted from literature. We present two new binning free tests, the univariate three-region-test and the multivariate energy test. The power of the selected tests with respect to different slowly varying distortions of experimental distributions are investigated. None of the tests is optimum for all distortions. The ...

CHIC means cytometric histogram image comparison and is a tool for evaluation of cytometric datasets nearly automatically and very fast. CHIC neither requires gate setting procedures nor relies on quantification and binning of event distributions within histograms. The evaluation of histograms using CHIC is based on the main idea that histograms are converted into images thus working person ind...
