In this talk we survey work being conducted at the Centre for Integrative Systems Biology at Imperial College on the use of machine learning to build models of biochemical pathways. Within the area of Systems Biology these models provide graph-based descriptions of bio-molecular interactions which describe cellular activities such as gene regulation, metabolism and transcription. One of the key...

Performing global alignment between protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of different organisms is important to infer knowledge about conservation across species. Known methods that perform this task operate symmetrically, that is to say, they do not assign a distinct role to the input PPI networks. However, in most cases, the input networks are indeed distinguishable on the basis of how ...

the application of neural networks to model a laboratory scale inverse fluidized bed reactor has been studied. a radial basis function neural network has been successfully employed for the modeling of the inverse fluidized bed reactor. in the proposed model, the trained neural network represents the kinetics of biological decomposition of organic matters in the reactor. the neural network has b...

The default mode network (DMN) has been implicated in an array of social-cognitive functions, including self-referential processing, theory of mind, and mentalizing. Yet, the properties of the external stimuli that elicit DMN activity in relation to these domains remain unknown. Previous studies suggested that motion kinematics is utilized by the brain for social-cognitive processing. Here, we ...
