Abstract

NORI performs probabilistic inference to resolve ambiguous mappings between experimental observations and biological entities orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art methods. This makes large-scale analysis and extensive hyperparameter optimization possible, and supports a broader range of bioinformatics applications, including protein inference, taxonomic and functional analysis in omics-fields.
