Bioinformatics is the science of managing, mining and interpreting information from biological sequences and structures. In this paper, we discuss two data-mining techniques that can be applied in bioinformatics: Neural Networks (NN) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and their application in...

Data in practical applications (e.g., images, molecular biology, etc) is mostly characterised by high dimensionality and huge size or number of data instances. Though, feature reduction techniques have been successful in reducing the dimensionality for certain applications, dealing with high...
