Technical report TR02-14. The 2002 Quantum Computing Summer School (QCSS'02) at the University of Alberta was organized as a learning and discussion forum for researchers in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering. The short-term objective was to introduce...

Technical report TR03-14. Identifying the destination or localization of proteins is key to understanding their function and facilitating their purification. A number of existing computational prediction methods are based on sequence analysis. However, these methods are limited in scope, accuracy...

Technical report TR06-03. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are genetic markers that may be used to identify the causes and risks of cancer. The sheer volume of data generated by SNP studies is difficult to analyze by hand. Machine learning techniques have been developed to address the types...
