ABSTRACT
Sethi RJ, Support vector
machines and bioinformatics, Online J Bioinformatics, 6 :
22-33, 2005. The inter-disciplinary
nature of Bioinformatics prevents the rapid efficient dissemination of new
information. Thus, new paradigms and technologies may be confined to a few
professionals. Support Vector Machines uniquely exemplify this idea as they are
mathematically involved, the algorithms to implement them are labyrinthine, and
their applications are in highly complex areas of biology. This work attempts
to provide a multi-disciplinary introduction to Support Vector Machines and
their application to bioinformatics.
