Abstract: Genetic regulatory networks are large graphical structures and their inference is a central problem in bioinformatics. However, because of the paucity of the training data and its noisiness, machine learning is essential to good and tractable inference. text/html 2010-03-05T23:37:34+00:00 Christo Fogelberg http://syntilect.com/cgf/pubs:foci-chapter?rev=1267832254&do=diff Abstract: Genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) are causal structures which can be represented as large directed graphs. Their inference is a central problem in bioinformatics. Because of the paucity of available data and high levels of associated noise, machine learning is essential in performing a good and tractable inference of the underlying causal structure. text/html 2010-03-05T23:32:22+00:00 Christo Fogelberg http://syntilect.com/cgf/pubs:index?rev=1267831942&do=diff Peer reviewed publications, technical reports, position papers etc., in reverse chronological order. 2009 * Evaluating clustering algorithms for genetic regulatory network structural inference (Fogelberg, Palade) * Machine learning and genetic regulatory networks: a review and a roadmap (Fogelberg, Palade) text/html 2010-02-12T11:41:32+00:00 Christo Fogelberg http://syntilect.com/cgf/quotes:index?rev=1265974892&do=diff I used to categorise these, but it's a horrible many-to-many problem which just doesn't map to any web page structure I can think of. So they're carefully organised into a long list now. I'll try to avoid duplications, let me know if you find any. text/html 2010-02-08T16:30:07+00:00 Christo Fogelberg http://syntilect.com/cgf/essays:toobig?rev=1265646607&do=diff American Airlines recently announced a global alliance with Iberia and BA (Financial Times, 1/2/10). Why? The claimed benefit is hundreds of millions of cost savings in backoffice and IT. Of the three airlines, only AA is making any money, and BA recently reported a loss of over $500 million. I'm not convinced that this merger makes sense from a financial perspective. Hundreds of millions of cost savings constitutes a large percentage of the airlines' spend on IT and backoffice, and it seems odd… text/html 2010-02-06T18:38:16+00:00 Christo Fogelberg http://syntilect.com/cgf/scribbles:2010?rev=1265481496&do=diff 020100206 - “Too big to fail” as a business strategy?

I send one every three months or so, and to a long list that I update quite haphazardly. So, as always, if you get this and don't want it please email me, and likewise if you want it but don't. Enough introduction. I had a ride in a small plane recently, but wasn't really getting a lot out of it. So I left. Which was way too much fun! It was a solo jump on a static line, which means you're on… text/html 2009-12-24T18:48:46+00:00 Christo Fogelberg http://syntilect.com/cgf/epistles:index?rev=1261680526&do=diff In reverse chronological order.
