Hierarchical Motif Discovery
posted by coderman at 2006-10-03 21:00

coderman: "Splash can be used to exhaustively analyze a sequence database and produce a tree of sequence clusters based on discovered patterns."
coderman: "The approach uses the pattern discovery algorithm in a loop. First pattern discovery is run using the standard discovery options. If a pattern is not found, first the density constraint is reduced according to a user defined formula, then the minimum support is reduced by 5%, until a pattern is found or a minimum, user defined support is reached. "
coderman: "The most statistically significant pattern among all those found is used to generate a PSSM, which is used to split the original sequence set into two sets a "match set" and a "mismatch set". "
coderman: "The pattern is then masked anywhere it occurs in the match set and the discovery is repeated recursively both on the match set and on the mismatch set. This produces a hierarchical tree."
coderman: SOURCE CODE PLEAAAAAASE :P~
coderman: <IBM> HAHAHAHA, when monkeys fly out of my butt!

How not to get rich

New game called "Counter Strike" shows people how to cut off the oil supply to the west by planting bombs on a ship in the strait of Hormuz. This game was made by Iranians who were not contactable for comment, and definately not an existing computer game with an existing level that they're randomly taking credit for, and are therefore unavilable for comment because they don't fucking exist, and so it's definately not a terrorist training aid.

Too little, too late journalism

DonFundoshi: regarding Bush govt's pending bill "authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights."
DonFundoshi: described in the article as a 'compromise'
DonFundoshi: sure makes me feel pretty fucken compromised, alright.
seti: one dares not wonder what the president actually proposed - selling those people into sex slavery in the Middle East?

Digg democracy: Can algorithms trump human nature?

coderman: the magic 8 ball says "try again later"
coderman: "Digg, Google and Wikipedia are invested in maintaining their “as-is� status-quo, no matter how flawed." - ouch
coderman: "Not one of the three powerhouses can risk diminishing public confidence in the grandiose vaunted missions each espouses. The leaders of each of the flawed systems publicly evangelize a revolutionary worthiness of their endeavors to rationalize away allegations of abuse, entrenchment, spam, falsehoods, libel, infringement…with a “net-positive� argument."
coderman: someone should digg that article man

est: "In case the name doesn't immediately ring a bell, Bob is the guy who wrote Cosmic Trigger - still the best narrative on how to enter and navigate the psycho-spiritual realm, and co-wrote the Illuminatus Trilogy, an epic work that pushes beyond conspiracy theory into conspiracy practice."
