Getting aligned on representational alignment

CoRR, 2023
Biological and artificial information processing systems form representations of the world that they can use to categorize, reason, plan, navigate, and make decisions. How can we measure the similarity between the representations formed by these diverse systems? Do similarities in representations then translate into similar behavior?

Multiple alignment by aligning alignments [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2007
Abstract Motivation: Multiple sequence alignment is a fundamental task in bioinformatics. Current tools typically form an initial alignment by merging subalignments, and then polish this alignment by repeated splitting and merging of subalignments to obtain an improved final alignment. In general this form-and-polish strategy consists of

Aligning alignments exactly [PDF]

Proceedings of the eighth annual international conference on Computational molecular biology - RECOMB '04, 2004
A basic computational problem that arises in both the construction and local-search phases of the best heuristics for multiple sequence alignment is that of aligning the columns of two multiple alignments. When the scoring function is the sum-of-pairs objective and induced pairwise alignments are evaluated using linear gap-costs, we call this problem ...

Comparison of Short-Read Sequence Aligners Indicates Strengths and Weaknesses for Biologists to Consider

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Aligning short-read sequences is the foundational step to most genomic and transcriptomic analyses, but not all tools perform equally, and choosing among the growing body of available tools can be daunting.

Align, then memorise: the dynamics of learning with feedback alignment* [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2022
Abstract Direct feedback alignment (DFA) is emerging as an efficient and biologically plausible alternative to backpropagation for training deep neural networks. Despite relying on random feedback weights for the backward pass, DFA successfully trains state-of-the-art models such as transformers. On the other hand,

Tailored Uniaxial Alignment of Nanowires Based on Off-Center Spin-Coating for Flexible and Transparent Field-Effect Transistors

Nanomaterials, 2022
The alignment of nanowires (NWs) has been actively pursued for the production of electrical devices with high-operating performances. Among the generally available alignment processes, spin-coating is the simplest and fastest method for uniformly ...
