[The] Random Forests algorithm [uses] a randomly selected subset of predictors as potential splitters during the tree construction process. A new subset of predictors is randomly selected at each node and then used in searching for the optimal split value. This further reduces the mutual correlation structure of the ensemble and improves its predictive power. 2, record 1, English, - Random%20Forests%20algorithm

... overfitting is the situation where an algorithm is trained too well for accuracy with a specific training data set. If tailored too specifically to a training data set, the algorithm fails to generalize well and its predictive power is reduced for any new data. 3, record 3, English, - overfitting

Une fois l'apprentissage réalisé, le réseau sera confronté à des motifs d'entrée n'appartenant pas à la base d'apprentissage, on dit qu'il fonctionne alors en généralisation. Il peut alors se produire le phénomène de surapprentissage : le réseau qui a obtenu de très bonnes performances sur la base d'apprentissage a de très mauvaises performances en généralisation sur la base de test alors que base de test et base d'apprentissage ont été sélectionnées aléatoirement parmi les exemples disponibles. 6, record 3, French, - surapprentissage

The tools of contemporary molecular biology generate a bewildering prospect in that an astronomical number of single amino acid replacements can be generated in even a small enzyme containing only about 100 amino acid residues... Oligodeoxynucleotide-directed mutagenesis allows the systematic replacement of every single amino acid residue in a protein in turn... Since only a small subset of possible mutant proteins can be examined in the design and production of engineered proteins, target proteins must be carefully considered, and research must be guided by tools such as X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling. Clearly, however, the predictive power of X-ray diffraction techniques and molecular modeling will be much greater for some amino acid substitutions than for others. Mechanism-based inactivation of enzymes will be easy to predict given a known mechanism of action for an enzyme. 3, record 4, English, - amino%20acid%20substitution

L'ingénierie des protéines est l'ensemble des techniques qui permettent, si possible à partir de la connaissance de la structure tridimensionnelle des protéines, de fabriquer des protéines "sur mesure" entièrement nouvelles ou de remodeler d'une manière rationnelle et spécifique la structure des protéines naturelles afin d'améliorer leur fonction et rentabiliser ainsi leur emploi dans la technologie des aliments, ou les industries pharmaceutique et agrochimique. On peut, par exemple, modifier la stabilité thermique, la spécificité, l'activité, ou déplacer le pH optimum des enzymes. Au sens strict, la modification de la structure moléculaire (obtenue par substitutions d'acides aminés) se fait grâce aux modifications correspondantes au niveau des gènes par mutagénèse dirigée. Il faut souligner cependant que des protéines améliorées peuvent être obtenues également par la modification chimique des résidus d'acides aminés accessibles. 1, record 4, French, - substitution%20d%27acide%20amin%C3%A9
