Artificial Intelligence for Molecular Biology

Advanced Methods and Applications

Beschreibung

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into molecular biology has brought about a paradigm shift, enabling researchers to tackle some of the most challenging problems in life sciences. This second volume builds upon the foundational principles explored in Volume I, delving into advanced AI methodologies and their applications in understanding biological sequences at a granular level. From word embeddings to language models, this volume examines the state-of-the-art techniques driving progress in molecular biology.

The chapters in this volume are structured to provide an in-depth exploration of AI methods and their transformative impact on DNA, RNA, protein, and peptide analysis:
Word Embedding Methods: This chapter explores the evolution of word embedding techniques, including foundational models like Word2Vec, FastText, and GloVe, as well as advanced graph-based embeddings such as DeepWalk, Node2Vec, and Struc2Vec. These embeddings have revolutionized sequence representation, providing powerful tools for analyzing biological data.Large Language Models: Language models have reshaped the landscape of computational biology. This chapter examines models like ULMFiT, BERT, and cutting-edge tools like AlphaFold and RNAFormer, which have set new benchmarks in structure prediction and sequence analysis.AI-Driven Insights into DNA Sequence Analysis Landscape: AI has unlocked new possibilities in DNA analysis. This chapter reviews methodologies, datasets, and predictive pipelines, offering insights into the performance and distribution of research across various benchmarks.

Currently, he is committed to mentoring future researchers and developing innovative AI solutions to address critical global challenges. Sheraz Ahmed is a Principal Researcher at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) while running DeepReader GmbH, a company he founded to bridge the gap between academic research and industry applications. He earned his Ph.D. from Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Germany, focusing on innovative approaches to breaking down and understanding information in document images. His work has increasingly turned toward the Life Sciences, where he sees AI as a powerful tool for accelerating scientific breakthroughs. He is also dedicated to advancing trustworthy AI, ensuring that AI technologies are ethical, transparent, and reliable for widespread adoption. In recognition of his outstanding ocontributions, Sheraz was honored with the prestigious DFKI Research Fellow Award, highlighting his leadership in the field of artificial intelligence. Multiple research stays backed by prestigious JSPS and DAAD fellowships, have shaped his international outlook on AI development. Today, he continues to explore new frontiers in AI while mentoring the next generation of researchers and building practical solutions for real-world challenges. Andreas Dengel is a professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau, a co-founder of intelligentX as well as the Executive Director of DFKI in Kaiserslautern. Since 2009, he has held another professorship (kyakuin) at the Department of Computer Science and Intelligent Systems at Osaka Metropolitan University, with the right to teach and examine. At this university, he was also appointed “Distinguished Honorary Professor” (tokubetu eiyo kyoju) in March 2018, an honor bestowed on only five researchers in 135 years. He has received many honors for his work and scientific achievements. In 2019 he was selected by a jury on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as one of the most influential scientists in 50 years of AI history in Germany for his research in the field of document analysis. He is the recipient of the Order of Merit of Rhineland-Palatinate and was awarded the “The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon” in 2021, Japan's oldest order, on behalf of His Majesty Emperor Naruhito. Andreas Dengel has chaired numerous international conferences and is a member of the editorial boards of international journals and book series. He has written or edited 14 books and is the author of more than 600 peer-reviewed scientific publications, many of which have received the Best Paper Award. His main research areas are machine learning, pattern recognition, quantified learning, data mining, and neuro-symbolic AI.
