Dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent reading difficulties, is often linked to reduced activity of the visual word form area (VWFA) in the ventral occ…
Fast and flexible long-range models for atomistic machine learning
Philip Loche, Kevin K. Huguenin-Dumittan, Melika Honarmand +5
Most atomistic machine learning (ML) models rely on a locality ansatz, and decompose the energy into a sum of short-ranged, atom-centered contributions. This leads to clear limitat…
An Assessment of PC-mer's Performance in Alignment-Free Phylogenetic Tree Construction
Saeedeh Akbari Rokn Abadi, Melika Honarmand, Ali Hajialinaghi +1
Background: Sequence comparison is essential in bioinformatics, serving various purposes such as taxonomy, functional inference, and drug discovery. The traditional method of align…
