Description

I will start by giving a general introduction into Bioinformatics, including basic biology, typical data types (sequences, structures, expression data and networks) and established analysis tasks. In the second part, I will discuss the problem of predictive sequence analysis with Support Vector Machines (SVMs). I will introduce a series of kernels suitable for different analysis tasks. Furthermore I will discuss the basic data structures needed for large scale learning and how to combine kernels for heterogeneous data. In the third part, I will focus on Hidden Markov models and discriminative alternatives like Conditional Random Fields and Hidden Markov SVMs suitable for segmentation tasks frequently appearing in Bioinformatics. In the last part I will present three applications in greater detail: A large margin alignment algorithm, computational gene finding and the identification of polymorphisms from resequencing arrays.

I really need to watch these video lectures but my internet connection in Tanzania has a very low speed. I can't even watch 1 minute online.
I need your help. Need to download these video lectures so as I can be able to watch them and revise.
Will help me a lot to integrate my basic science with bioiformatics

Excellent Tutorial ... Thanks for upload


Comment7 m.rezaei, February 6, 2009 at 10:25 p.m.:

Due to low connection speed, it was impossible for me to

I would appreciate if this is the case.

all the images point to the same url:
http://videolectures.net/mlss07_gunna...

so, i don't see any way for me to watch lecture#2 and above? i have watched 1st one so far.

please tell me how to watch the others?


Comment9 Davor (staff), April 19, 2010 at 9:34 a.m.:

@rk, do you see the 6 pictures of the speaker underneath the first video? Try to click on the picture that says "Part 2".

@m.rezaei, unfortunately the videos are not downlodable at the moment but we expect to change this policy in the next few months
