Velvet: Algorithms for de novo short read assembly using de Bruijn graphs
We have developed a new set of algorithms, collectively called “Velvet,” to manipulate de Bruijn graphs for genomic sequence assembly. A de Bruijn graph is a compact representat...
Signal Recovery From Random Measurements Via Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
This paper demonstrates theoretically and empirically that a greedy algorithm called Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) can reliably recover a signal with $m$ nonzero entries in ...
Focal Loss for Dense Object Detection
The highest accuracy object detectors to date are based on a two-stage approach popularized by R-CNN, where a classifier is applied to a sparse set of candidate object locations...
Novel methods improve prediction of species’ distributions from occurrence data
Prediction of species’ distributions is central to diverse applications in ecology, evolution and conservation science. There is increasing electronic access to vast sets of occ...
