Research

I'm a last year Phd student with a main interest in data-mining. The topics I've been working on are:

  • benchmarking inductive algorithms on natural language classification tasks
  • vector representations of gene structural elements
  • predicting gene structural elements and percussive sounds using the support vector machine
  • organism specific induction of a gene prediction system
  • selecting relevant features for splice site prediction

My Phd research is about the construction and implementation of an accurate gene structural element prediction system that can be easily adapted to new species and is fast in terms of annotation speed as it will be used to annotated complete eukaryotic genomes.
