Screening a diverse, combinatorial library of ca. 5000 synthetic dimer and trimer N-(substituted)glycine "peptides" yielded novel, high-affinity ligands for 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors. The peptoid library was efficiently assembled using readily available chemical building blocks. The choice of side chains was biased to resemble known ligands to 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled...

Learning by choice of internal representations (CHIR) is a learning algorithm for a multilayer neural network system, suggested by Grossman et al, [1,2) and based upon determining the internal representations of the system as well as its internal weights. In this paper, we propose an energy minimization approach whereby the internal representations (IR) as well as the weight matrix are allowed ...

In the present study basal area and Importance Value Index (IVI) attributes of herbage were investigated in chir pine (Pinus roxburghii Sargent) stands of three different ages and also in open grassland in the sub-tropical region of Himachal Pradesh (India) during growing season (June to September). A higher basal area of the herbage was recorded in open grassland as compared to chir pine stand...

Feature Selection benefits a learner by eliminating non-informative or noisy features and by reducing the overall feature space to a manageable size. The Term Feature Selection is used in Machine Learning for the process of selecting a subset of features used to represent the text. In this paper, we propose a new approach for Text Representation based on incorporating background Knowledge Arabi...

A new learning algorithm, learning by choice of int ern al repr esentations (CHIR), was recently int roduced. Th e basic version of thi s algoriths was developed for a two-layer, single-out put , feedforward network of binary neurons . This paper presents a generalized version of the CHIR algorithm th at is capable of t raining mult ipleoutput net works. A way to ada pt the algorit hm to mult i...
