Feedforward network models performing classification tasks rely on highly convergent output units that collect the information passed on by preceding layers. Although convergent output-unit like neurons may exist in some biological neural circuits, notably the cerebellar cortex, neocortical circuits do not exhibit any…

Binary classification, an act of sorting items into two classes by setting a boundary, is biased by recent history. One common form of such biases is repulsive bias, a tendency to sort an item into the class opposite to its preceding items. Sensory-adaptation and boundary-updating are considered as two contending…

The aim of this study was to develop the use of Machine Learning techniques as a means of multivariate analysis in studies of motor control. These studies generate a huge amount of data, the analysis of which continues to be largely univariate. We propose the use of machine learning classification and feature selection…

Studying how humans perceive patterns in visually presented data is useful for understanding data-based decision-making and potentially understanding visually mediated sensorimotor control. We conducted experiments to examine how human subjects perform the simplest machine learning or statistical estimation tasks…

Logistic regression has demonstrated its utility in classifying binary labeled datasets through the maximum likelihood approach. However, in numerous biological and clinical contexts, the aim is often to determine coefficients that yield the highest sensitivity at the pre-specified specificity or vice versa. Therefore…

Monotonic bivariate classifiers can describe simple patterns in high-dimensional data that may not be discernible using only elementary linear decision boundaries. Such classifiers are relatively simple, easy to interpret, and do not require large amounts of data to be effective. A challenge is that finding optimal…

Leveraging trophic interactions to deduce macro-ecological patterns has become a prevalent method, taking advantage of the extensive databases on binary trophic interactions (i.e., prey-predator relationships). However, this binary approach oversimplifies complex ecological dynamics and fails to capture the nuanced…

This study emphasizes the potential of computational techniques in cancer risk assessment, highlighting opportunities for specific and data-driven healthcare solutions. It examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) approaches to improve cancer risk assessment using a…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionised the process of identifying species and individuals in audio recordings and camera trap images. However, despite developments in sensor technology, machine learning, and statistical methods, a general AI-assisted data-to-inference pipeline has yet to emerge. We argue that…

Plant breeders want to develop cultivars that outperform existing genotypes. Some characteristics (here ‘main traits’) of these cultivars are categorical and difficult to measure directly. It is important to predict the main trait of newly developed genotypes accurately. In addition to marker data, breeding programs…

Classification is a fundamental task in biology used to assign members to a class. While linear discriminant functions have long been effective, advances in phenotypic data collection are yielding increasingly high-dimensional datasets with more classes, unequal class covariances, and non-linear distributions. Numerous…

Constructing molecular classifiers that enable cells to recognize linear and non-linear input patterns would expand the biocomputational capabilities of engineered cells, thereby unlocking their potential in diagnostics and therapeutic applications. While several biomolecular classifier schemes have been designed, the…

Deep learning has been successful at predicting epigenomic profiles from DNA sequences. Most approaches frame this task as a binary classification relying on peak callers to define functional activity. Recently, quantitative models have emerged to directly predict the experimental coverage values as a regression. As…
