Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has been introduced as an important method for mining biological data. Though there currently exists packages implemented in R and other programming languages, they either provide only a few optimization algorithms or focus on specific application field. There does not exist complete NMF package the bioinformatics community, order to perform various data tasks data.We convenient MATLAB toolbox containing both implementations of techniques variety...

Studying breast cancer survivability among different patients who received various treatment therapies may help us understand the relationship between and of based on genetic expression. In this work, we present a classification system that predicts whether given patient underwent through hormone therapy, radiotherapy, or surgery will survive beyond five years after treatment. Our classifier is tree-based hierarchical approach groups classes. Each node in tree associated with therapy subset...

Large Language Models (LLMs) like Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) from OpenAI and LLaMA (Large Model Meta AI) AI are increasingly recognized for their potential in the field of cheminformatics, particularly understanding Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES), a standard method representing chemical structures. These LLMs also have ability to decode SMILES strings into vector representations.

In the context of highly scalable distributed resource management architectures for grid computing, we present a genetic algorithm based scheduler. A scheduler must use available resources efficiently, while satisfying competing and mutually conflicting goals. The workload may consist multiple jobs, with quality-of-service constraints. directed acyclic graph (DAG) represents each job, taking into account arbitrary precedence constraints processing time. has been designed to be compatible...

In wireless mobile communication systems, radio spectrum is a limited resource. However, efficient use of available channels has been shown to improve the system capacity. The role channel assignment scheme allocate cells or mobiles in such way as minimize call blocking dropping probabilities, and also maximize quality service. Channel known be an NP-hard optimization problem. this paper, we have developed evolutionary strategy (ES) which optimizes assignment. proposed ES approach uses...

Microarray data can be used to detect diseases and predict responses therapies through classification models. However, the high dimensionality low sample size of such result in many computational problems as reduced prediction accuracy slow speed. In this paper, we propose a novel family nonnegative least-squares classifiers for high-dimensional microarray gene expression comparative genomic hybridization data. Our approaches are based on combining advantages using local learning,...

Non-negative information can benefit the analysis of microarray data. This paper investigates classification performance non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) over gene-sample We also extends it to higher-order version for clinical time-series data represented by tensor. Experiments show that NMF and achieve at least comparable prediction performance.

Accurately reconstructing gene regulatory network (GRN) from expression data is a challenging task in systems biology. Although some progresses have been made, the performance of GRN reconstruction still has much room for improvement. Because many events are asynchronous, learning interactions with multiple time delays an effective way to improve accuracy reconstruction. Here, we propose new approach, called Max-Min high-order dynamic Bayesian (MMHO-DBN) by extending hill-climbing technique...
