In this work, the authors focus on the quantum evolutionary quantum hybridization and its contribution in solving the binary decision diagram ordering problem. Therefore, a problem formulation in terms of quantum representation and evolutionary dynamic borrowing quantum operators are defined. The sifting search strategy is used in order to increase the efficiency of the exploration process, whi...

cDNA micro arrays are more and more frequently used in molecular biology as they can give insight into the relation of an organism's metabolism and its genome. The process of imaging a micro array sample can introduce a great deal of noise and bias into the data with higher variance than the original signal which may swamp the useful information. As imperfections and fabrication artifacts often...

We propose to demonstrate Colander, a set of lightweight approaches, and a tool, to mine “special terms” from a corpus of documents. In this proposal, we give an overview of three highlevel approaches to extracting special terms; introduce some metrics to measure the performance of the approaches; and outline an evaluation methodology. We also provide a high-level description of the tool and it...
