Evaluation of IoT-Based Computational Intelligence Tools for DNA Sequence Analysis in Bioinformatics

In contemporary age, Computational Intelligence (CI) performs an essential role in the interpretation of big biological data considering that it could provide all of the molecular biology and DNA sequencing computations. For this purpose, many researchers have attempted to implement different tools in this field and have competed aggressively. Hence, determining the best of them among the enormous number of available tools is not an easy task, selecting the one which accomplishes big data in the concise time and with no error can significantly improve the scientist's contribution in the bioinformatics field. This study uses different analysis and methods such as Fuzzy, Dempster-Shafer, Murphy and Entropy Shannon to provide the most significant and reliable evaluation of IoT-based computational intelligence tools for DNA sequence analysis. The outcomes of this study can be advantageous to the bioinformatics community, researchers and experts in big biological data

Soft Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Fuzzy Logic & Genetic Algorithm in Bioinformatics

Abstract Soft computing is creating several possibilities in bioinformatics, especially by generating low-cost, low precision (approximate), good solutions. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research area that is the interface between the biological and computational sciences. Bioinformatics deals with algorithms, databases and information systems, web technologies, artificial intelligence and soft computing, information and computation theory, structural biology, software engineering, data mining, image processing, modeling and simulation, discrete mathematics, control and system theory, circuit theory, and statistics. Despite of a high number of techniques specifically dedicated to bioinformatics problems as well as many successful applications, we are in the beginning of a process to massively integrate the aspects and experiences in the different core subjects such as biology, medicine, computer science, engineering, and mathematics. Recently the use of soft computing tools for solving bioinformatics problems have been gaining the attention of researchers because of their ability to handle imprecision, uncertainty in large and complex search spaces. The paper will focus on soft computing paradigm in bioinformatics with particular emphasis on integrative research

What is Computational Intelligence and where is it going?

What is Computational Intelligence (CI) and what are its relations with Artificial Intelligence (AI)? A brief survey of the scope of CI journals and books with ``computational intelligence'' in their title shows that at present it is an umbrella for three core technologies (neural, fuzzy and evolutionary), their applications, and selected fashionable pattern recognition methods. At present CI has no comprehensive foundations and is more a bag of tricks than a solid branch of science. The change of focus from methods to challenging problems is advocated, with CI defined as a part of computer and engineering sciences devoted to solution of non-algoritmizable problems. In this view AI is a part of CI focused on problems related to higher cognitive functions, while the rest of the CI community works on problems related to perception and control, or lower cognitive functions. Grand challenges on both sides of this spectrum are addressed

Computational Protein Design Using AND/OR Branch-and-Bound Search

The computation of the global minimum energy conformation (GMEC) is an important and challenging topic in structure-based computational protein design. In this paper, we propose a new protein design algorithm based on the AND/OR branch-and-bound (AOBB) search, which is a variant of the traditional branch-and-bound search algorithm, to solve this combinatorial optimization problem. By integrating with a powerful heuristic function, AOBB is able to fully exploit the graph structure of the underlying residue interaction network of a backbone template to significantly accelerate the design process. Tests on real protein data show that our new protein design algorithm is able to solve many prob- lems that were previously unsolvable by the traditional exact search algorithms, and for the problems that can be solved with traditional provable algorithms, our new method can provide a large speedup by several orders of magnitude while still guaranteeing to find the global minimum energy conformation (GMEC) solution.Comment: RECOMB 201

A Comparative Study of Pairwise Learning Methods based on Kernel Ridge Regression

Many machine learning problems can be formulated as predicting labels for a pair of objects. Problems of that kind are often referred to as pairwise learning, dyadic prediction or network inference problems. During the last decade kernel methods have played a dominant role in pairwise learning. They still obtain a state-of-the-art predictive performance, but a theoretical analysis of their behavior has been underexplored in the machine learning literature. In this work we review and unify existing kernel-based algorithms that are commonly used in different pairwise learning settings, ranging from matrix filtering to zero-shot learning. To this end, we focus on closed-form efficient instantiations of Kronecker kernel ridge regression. We show that independent task kernel ridge regression, two-step kernel ridge regression and a linear matrix filter arise naturally as a special case of Kronecker kernel ridge regression, implying that all these methods implicitly minimize a squared loss. In addition, we analyze universality, consistency and spectral filtering properties. Our theoretical results provide valuable insights in assessing the advantages and limitations of existing pairwise learning methods.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1606.0427
