  • What does a zero mean? understanding false, random and structural zeros in ecology 

    Blasco Moreno, Anabel; Pérez Casany, Marta; Puig, Pedro; Morante, Maria; Castells, Eva (2019-03-27)
    Article
    Open Access
    1. Zeros (i.e. events that do not happen) are the source of two common phenomena in count data: overdispersion and zero-inflation. Zeros have multiple origins in a dataset: false zeros occur due to errors in the experimental ...
  • 3D-PP: A tool for discovering conserved three-dimensional protein patterns 

    Valdés Jiménez, Alejandro; Larriba Pey, Josep; Núñez Vivanco, Gabriel; Reyes Parada, Miguel (2019-06-28)
    Article
    Open Access
    Discovering conserved three-dimensional (3D) patterns among protein structures may provide valuable insights into protein classification, functional annotations or the rational design of multi-target drugs. Thus, several ...
  • The CHARME "Advanced Big Data Training School for Life Sciences": an example of good practices for training on current bioinformatics challenges 

    Hoang, Yen; Pfeil, Juliane; Zagoršcak, Maja; Zdravevski, Eftim; Ramšak, Živa; Schulze, Sabrina K.; Papageorgiou, K.; Duarte López, Ariel; Pérez Casany, Marta (2019-02-05)
    Article
    Open Access
    The CHARME “Advanced Big Data Training School for Life Sciences” took place during 3-7 September 2018, at the Campus Nord of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona (ES). The school was organised by the ...
  • Proceedings of the “Think Tank Hackathon’’, Big Data Training School for Life Sciences Follow-up, Ljubljana 6th – 7th February 2018 

    Schulze, Sabrina K.; Ramšak, Živa; Hoang, Yen; Zdravevski, Eftim; Pfeil, Juliane; Duarte López, Ariel; Baier, Uwe; Zagoršcak, Maja (2018-04-19)
    Article
    Open Access
    On 6th and 7th February 2018, a Think Tank took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was a follow-up of the “Big Data Training School for Life Sciences” held in Uppsala, Sweden, in September 2017. The focus was on identifying ...
  • Software trace cache 

    Ramírez Bellido, Alejandro; Larriba Pey, Josep; Valero Cortés, Mateo (2005-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    We explore the use of compiler optimizations, which optimize the layout of instructions in memory. The target is to enable the code to make better use of the underlying hardware resources regardless of the specific details ...
  • Put three and three together: Triangle-driven community detection 

    Prat Pérez, Arnau; Domínguez Sal, David; Brunat Blay, Josep Maria; Larriba Pey, Josep (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2016-02-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Community detection has arisen as one of the most relevant topics in the field of graph data mining due to its applications in many fields such as biology, social networks, or network traffic analysis. Although the existing ...
  • Automatic multi-partite graph generation from arbitrary data 

    Álvarez García, Sandra; Baeza Yates, Ricardo; Brisaboa, Nieves R.; Larriba Pey, Josep; Pedreira, Oscar (2014-08-22)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this paper we present a generic model for automatic generation of basic multi-partite graphs obtained from collections of arbitrary input data following user indications. The paper also presents GraphGen, a tool that ...
  • Two-way replacement selection 

    Martínez Palau, Xavier; Domínguez Sal, David; Larriba Pey, Josep (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2010-09-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The performance of external sorting using merge sort is highly dependent on the length of the runs generated. One of the most commonly used run generation strategies is Replacement Selection (RS) because, on average, it ...
  • Using genetic algorithms for attribute grouping in multivariate microaggregation 

    Balasch Masoliver, Jordi; Muntés Mulero, Víctor; Nin Guerrero, Jordi (2014-01-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Anonymization techniques that provide k-anonymity suffer from loss of quality when data dimensionality is high. Microaggregation techniques are not an exception. Given a set of records, attributes are grouped into ...
  • A discussion on the design of graph database benchmarks 

    Domínguez Sal, David; Martínez Bazán, Norbert; Muntés Mulero, Víctor; Baleta Ferrer, Pedro; Larriba Pey, Josep (2011)
    Article
    Open Access
    Graph Database Management systems (GDBs) are gaining popularity. They are used to analyze huge graph datasets that are naturally appearing in many application areas to model interrelated data. The objective of this paper ...
  • Generalized median string computation by means of string embedding in vector spaces 

    Jiang, Xiaoyi; Wentker, Jöran; Ferrer Sumsi, Miquel (2012-11-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In structural pattern recognition the median string has been established as a useful tool to represent a set of strings. However, its exact computation is complex and of high computational burden. In this paper we propose ...
