Question

Which of the following is untrue regarding Prediction with Neural Networks?

(a) The third-generation prediction algorithms extensively apply sophisticated neural networks

(b) It is used to analyze substitution patterns in multiple sequence alignments

(c) It is not a machine learning process

(d) It requires a structure of multiple layers of interconnected variables or nodes

The question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I need to ask this question from Protein Secondary Structure Prediction  for Globular Proteins topic in chapter Secondary Structure Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) It is not a machine learning process

To explain: A neural network is a machine learning process that requires a structure of multiple layers of interconnected variables or nodes. In secondary structure prediction, the input is an amino acid sequence and the output is the probability of a residue to adopt a particular structure.
