We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...
Many testing and analysis techniques use finite state models to validate and verify the quality of software systems. Since the specification of such models is complex and timecons...
Background: Gene/protein recognition and normalization are important preliminary steps for many biological text mining tasks, such as information retrieval, protein-protein intera...
Background: Within the emerging field of text mining and statistical natural language processing (NLP) applied to biomedical articles, a broad variety of techniques have been deve...
Spatial classification is the task of learning models to predict class labels based on the features of entities as well as the spatial relationships to other entities and their fe...
