Appendix B- Information Theory, Entropy, and Relative Entropy Focuses on information theory and the fundamental notions of entropy, mutual information, and relative entropy. Appendix C- Probabilistic Graphical Models Provides a brief overview of graphical models, independence, and Markov properties, in both the undirected case (random Markov elds) and the directed case (Bayesian networks) Appendix D- HMM Technicalities, Scaling, Periodic Architectures, State Functions, and Dirichlet Mixtures Covers technical issues related to hidden Markov models, such as scaling, loop architectures, and bendability. Appendix E- Gaussian Processes, Kernel Methods, and Support Vector Machines Brie y reviews two related classes of machine learning models of growing importance, Gaussian processes and support vector machines. Conclusion Bioinformatics - The Machine Learning Approach is a valuable reference work and update on developments in bioinformatics. It is, however, less appropriate as a general introduction into the area of bioinformatics. The book may be even more valuable if the authors consider to relax the conciseness and replace some of the references to external resources throughout the book with intuitive inline explanations of the referenced material.
