The problem of predicting RNA secondary structure is a challenging topic, which involves various fields of computer science. Accurate solutions to this problem are helpful in the disciplines of medicine for vaccine development, to design stable mRNA molecules, or biology for discerning between different functions of various RNA molecules according to their shape. The objective of this project is to study an emerging Machine Learning-based approach to the problem of RNA secondary structure prediction via integration of deep learning techniques like transfer learning and convolutional neural net- works, aided by adaptations made for the specific problem at hand, like data representation and loss function. The objective of this project is to provide a new robust Machine Learning-based approach to the problem of RNA secondary structure prediction via integration and improvement of emerging Deep Learning techniques.

Abstract
The problem of predicting RNA secondary structure is a challenging topic, which involves various fields of computer science. Accurate solutions to this problem are helpful in the disciplines of medicine for vaccine development, to design stable mRNA molecules, or biology for discerning between different functions of various RNA molecules according to their shape. The objective of this project is to study an emerging Machine Learning-based approach to the problem of RNA secondary structure prediction via integration of deep learning techniques like transfer learning and convolutional neural net- works, aided by adaptations made for the specific problem at hand, like data representation and loss function. The objective of this project is to provide a new robust Machine Learning-based approach to the problem of RNA secondary structure prediction via integration and improvement of emerging Deep Learning techniques.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
