""" ========================================================================== Gaussian processes on discrete data structures ========================================================================== This example illustrates the use of Gaussian processes for regression and classification tasks on data that are not in fixed-length feature vector form. This is achieved through the use of kernel functions that operates directly on discrete structures such as variable-length sequences, trees, and graphs. Specifically, here the input variables are some gene sequences stored as variable-length strings consisting of letters 'A', 'T', 'C', and 'G', while the output variables are floating point numbers and True/False labels in the regression and classification tasks, respectively. A kernel between the gene sequences is defined using R-convolution [1]_ by integrating a binary letter-wise kernel over all pairs of letters among a pair of strings. This example will generate three figures. In the first figure, we visualize the value of the kernel, i.e. the similarity of the sequences, using a colormap. Brighter color here indicates higher similarity. In the second figure, we show some regression result on a dataset of 6 sequences. Here we use the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th sequences as the training set to make predictions on the 3rd and 6th sequences. In the third figure, we demonstrate a classification model by training on 6 sequences and make predictions on another 5 sequences. The ground truth here is simply whether there is at least one 'A' in the sequence. Here the model makes four correct classifications and fails on one. .. [1] Haussler, D. (1999).
