Estimating the Conformational Energy of Biological Macromolecules
Joaquim Mendes, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) – Abstract: The conformational energy of a molecule in solution consists of two components: the intramolecular potential energy of the molecule and the solvation free energy of the molecule, the latter describing its interaction with the solvent. Although…
Secure Computing: Tamper Evident and Tamper Resistant Processing
Marten van Dijk, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory – Abstract: Usually security protects the computer owner from attack, but sometimes the computer owner is the potential "enemy". For example, in digital rights management the owner of a computer platform is motivated to break…
Feature Selection for Supervised Learning
Mário Figueiredo, Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) – Abstract: It has recently been shown that feature selection in supervised learning can be embedded in the learning algorithm by using sparsity-promoting priors/penalties that encourage the coefficient estimates to be either significantly large or exactly zero. In the…
Upcoming Events
Workshop “Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango” – 2nd Edition
Title: Workshop Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango – 2nd Edition
Dates: October 25-26, 2022
Location: This workshop will be held in a virtual way
The topic of this workshop is metabolism in general, with a special focus, although not exclusive, on parasitology. Besides an exploration of the biological, biochemical and biomedical aspects, the workshop will also aim at presenting some of the mathematical modelling, algorithmic theory and software development that have become crucial to explore such aspects.
This workshop is being organised in the context of two projects, both with the Inria European Team Erable. One of the projects involves a partnership with the University of São Paulo (USP), in São Paulo, Brazil, more specifically the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) and the Institute of Biomedical Sciences – Inria Associated Team Capoeira – and the other involves the Inesc-ID/IST in Portugal, ETH in Zürich and EMBL in Heidelberg – H2020 Twinning Project Olissipo.
The workshop is open to all members of these two projects but also, importantly, to the community in general.
The program and more details are available here.
