A topic model based approach to inferring episodic directional selection in protein coding sequences by Sadiq, Hassan Taiwo

“…A notable example of such techniques are the variational Bayesian methods. We show that our approach performs well in terms of specificity and power, and demonstrate its utility by applying it to some real datasets of HIV sequences.…”

Aircraft state estimation using cameras and passive radar by De Charmoy, Benjamin

“…This work puts forward a MTT framework (MTTF) which is based on the Bayesian recursive estimator (BRE). The MTTF extends a particle filter (PF) to handle the multiple targets and adds a probabilistic graphical model (PGM) data association stage to compute the mapping from detections to trackers. …”
