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…
