| Because we think of learning and computation in terms of separate a priori categories, we naturally consider them as separate processes in neural networks. Our pre-conceptions do not translate into imperatives for Nature, however. We present an overview of work carried out by the HKUST Biocomputing Group which shows that some learning mechanisms must be considered as inseparable parts of the ...

Television advertising levels in Europe are regulated according to the “Audiovisual Service Media Directive”, where member states of the European Union usually impose stricter regulation on their Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) channels. The present model evaluates the effects of symmetric and asymmetric regulation of ad levels on competition for viewers and advertisers in a duopoly framework...

The purpose of this article is to remind three fundamental contributions by A. M. Turing to three important fields of contemporary science and engineering (theory of computation, artificial intelligence, and biocomputing), and to emphasize the connections between them. The article reminds and formulates resp., also three hypotheses related to the three initiatives and discuss in short their mut...

This report summarizes the M3 Workshop held at the January 2010 Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. The workshop, organized by Genomic Standards Consortium members, included five contributed talks, a series of short presentations from stakeholders in the genomics standards community, a poster session, and, in the evening, an open discussion session to review current projects and examine future d...

PSB brings together top researchers from around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. PSB 2015 marks the twentieth anniversary of PSB. Reaching a milestone year is an accomplishment well worth celebrating. It is long enough to have seen big changes occur, but recent enough to be relevant for today. As PSB celebrates twenty years ...

Knowledge spreadsheets (KSs) are a visual tool for interactive data analysis and exploration. They differ from traditional spreadsheets in that rather than being oriented toward numeric data, they work with symbolic knowledge representation structures and provide operations that take into account the semantics of the application domain. 'Groups' is an implementation of KSs within the Pathway To...

This paper describes topics pertaining to the session, "Social Media Mining for Public Health Monitoring and Surveillance," at the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) 2016. In addition to summarizing the content of the session, this paper also surveys recent research on using social media data to study public health. The survey is organized into sections describing recent progress in public...
