Bridging from syntactic to statistical methods: Classification with automatically segmented features from sequences

作者：

Highlights：

• Bridging approach is a hybrid of syntactic and statistical methods.

• Like the syntactic paradigm, it preserves hierarchical relations, gives insights, etc.

• It does not require task-dependent distance calculations.

• Experiments concern in silico toxicity prediction.

• The code and the database are open-source.
