Suffix tree construction. Mention the new linear time array constructions - - using suffix trees for finding motifs with gaps (some new observations: 0.5 - 1 hours). - finding cis-regulatory motifs by comparative genomics (1 hour) - Hidden Markov techniques for haplotypingAuthor: Esko Ukkonen, University Of Helsinki

Graphical Models, such as Markov random fields, are a powerful methodology for modeling probability distributions over large numbers of variables. These models, in principle, offer a natural approach to learning and inference of many computer vision problems, such as stereo, denoising, segmentation, and image labeling. However, graphical models face severe computational problems when dealing wi...

Optical music recognition (OMR) enables early music collections to be digitized on a large scale. The workflow for such digitisation projects also includes scanning and preprocessing, but the cost of expert human labour to correct automatic recognition errors dominates the cost of these other two steps. To reduce the number of recognition errors in the OMR process, we present an innovative appl...

Markov jump processes (MJPs) underpin our understanding of many important systems in science and technology. They provide a rigorous probabilistic framework to model the joint dynamics of groups (species) of interacting individuals, with applications ranging from information packets in a telecommunications network to epidemiology and population levels in the environment. These processes are usu...

We present a general and efficient optimisation methodology for for max-margin sructured classification tasks. The efficiency of the method relies on the interplay of several techiques: marginalization of the dual of the structured SVM, or max-margin Markov problem; partial decomposition via a gradient formulation; and finally tight coupling of a max-likelihood inference algorithm into the opti...

Analysis of genetic variation in human populations is critical to the understanding of the genetic basis for complex diseases. Although genomes of several species have been sequenced, it is still too expensive to sequence genomes of several individuals to analyze genetic variation. Furthermore, most of the genome is invariant among individuals. Author: Niels Landwehr, University of Freiburg
