Ganesh Bagler is known for his research [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] in computational gastronomy, an emerging data science of food, flavors and health. [11] [12] [13] By blending food with data and computation he has helped establish the foundations of this niche area. [11] [12] [9] [7] Starting with the investigation of food pairing in the Indian cuisine, [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] his lab has contributed to computational gastronomy with studies on culinary fingerprints of world cuisines, [4] culinary evolution, [21] [22] benevolent health impacts of spices, [23] and taste prediction algorithms. [3]
Bagler completed his schooling from Sharada School and Siddheshwar High School, Solapur in the western peninsular Indian state of Maharashtra. He did his graduation in Physics (B.Sc., 1997) from Sangameshwar College, [24] Shivaji University and master's studies (M.Sc. Physics, 1999) from Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune. He moved to University of Hyderabad for M.Tech. in Computational Techniques, before joining Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology for his Ph.D. research in Computational Biology. [25] His Ph.D. research involved investigation of graph theoretical models of protein structures [26] [27] which led to the observation of exceptional assortative mixing in graph theoretical models of protein structures. [28]
After the postdoctoral research stint in computational neuroscience at the National Centre for Biological Sciences as a visiting fellow, [29] he joined the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Prof. Michael Lappe's (Otto Warburg Laboratory, Bioinformatics/Structural Proteomics) group. [30] He returned to India to join CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology as a Scientist. [31] In April 2013, he moved to Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur as an assistant professor. [32] [33] After a brief stint at Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology as an assistant professor, [34] [35] [36] he moved to Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-Delhi) on a tenure track position. [37] [38] [39] [40] There, he is affiliated to the Center for Computational Biology [41] and Department of Computational Biology [42] and has been developing the Computational Gastronomy niche in his lab, the Complex Systems Laboratory. [43]
Ganesh Bagler's research [44] has been rooted in investigation of complex systems, [43] primarily of biological origin: protein structure-function, [45] kinetics, [46] folding, [47] and design; [48] complex network models transportation systems; [49] molecular interactome models of complex diseases; [50] [51] controllability of biological networks; [52] [53] in silico drug discovery; [54] [55] [56] [57] [58] systems biological investigation of brain networks; [59] [60] [61] [62] modeling and prediction of phenotypic side effects of drugs; [63] [64] computational models of biological systems; [65] [66] and computational gastronomy. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
Ganesh Bagler has keen interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and public outreach for communicating science. [67] He has been engaged in propagating the cause of leveraging computational gastronomy for data-driven food innovations on various platforms: [67] TEDx; [68] HasGeek's Kilter 2017; [69] Discussion Meeting on Mathematical and Statistical Explorations in Disease Modeling and Public Health at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences; [70] 7th IFCA [71] International Chefs Congress; [72] [73] IIT Guwahati Research Conclave 2017; [74] GD Goenka University Le Cordon Bleu India's [75] iHOST 2017; [76] Cadence Advanced Technology Talk; [77] 2nd International Meeting on Systems Medicine (Utrecht, Netherlands); [78] Food Safety and Standards Authority of India's (FSSAI) EatRight Mela; [79] Bangalore Science Forum; [80] and SIAL Paris Conference 2019 [ citation needed ]. He has organized two editions of Computational Gastronomy Symposiums at IIIT-Delhi. [81] [13] He conducts the 'Open Computational Gastronomy' course on Google Classroom [82] [83]
In April 2015, soon after his research reporting the food pairing investigation of Indian cuisine was touted as an emerging technology by the MIT Technology Review, [14] Bagler was unceremoniously removed from the position of assistant professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur in a controversial decision. [84] The students protested against the decision of termination. [84] [85] [86] [87] [88] [89] [90] Ministry of Human Resource Development constituted a three-member committee for the investigation of the matter. [91] Subsequently, Bagler moved to Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology on a tenure track position [39] and has graduated his PhD students [92] from Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur. He has been tenured and promoted to the position of Associate Professor [40] at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology.
This is a timeline of quantum computing.
A scale-free network is a network whose degree distribution follows a power law, at least asymptotically. That is, the fraction P(k) of nodes in the network having k connections to other nodes goes for large values of k as
Self-organized criticality (SOC) is a property of dynamical systems that have a critical point as an attractor. Their macroscopic behavior thus displays the spatial or temporal scale-invariance characteristic of the critical point of a phase transition, but without the need to tune control parameters to a precise value, because the system, effectively, tunes itself as it evolves towards criticality.
In natural evolution and artificial evolution the fitness of a schema is rescaled to give its effective fitness which takes into account crossover and mutation.
In physics, an entropic force acting in a system is an emergent phenomenon resulting from the entire system's statistical tendency to increase its entropy, rather than from a particular underlying force on the atomic scale.
In the study of complex networks, assortative mixing, or assortativity, is a bias in favor of connections between network nodes with similar characteristics. In the specific case of social networks, assortative mixing is also known as homophily. The rarer disassortative mixing is a bias in favor of connections between dissimilar nodes.
Biological network inference is the process of making inferences and predictions about biological networks. By using these networks to analyze patterns in biological systems, such as food-webs, we can visualize the nature and strength of these interactions between species, DNA, proteins, and more.

He is known for his pioneering work on the use of hidden Markov models in bioinformatics, and is co-author of a widely used textbook in bioinformatics. In addition, he also co-authored one of the early textbooks on neural networks. His current research interests include promoter analysis, non-coding RNA, gene prediction and protein structure prediction.
A biological network is a method of representing systems as complex sets of binary interactions or relations between various biological entities. In general, networks or graphs are used to capture relationships between entities or objects. A typical graphing representation consists of a set of nodes connected by edges.
The clique percolation method is a popular approach for analyzing the overlapping community structure of networks. The term network community has no widely accepted unique definition and it is usually defined as a group of nodes that are more densely connected to each other than to other nodes in the network. There are numerous alternative methods for detecting communities in networks, for example, the Girvan–Newman algorithm, hierarchical clustering and modularity maximization.
Within biological systems, degeneracy occurs when structurally dissimilar components/pathways can perform similar functions under certain conditions, but perform distinct functions in other conditions. Degeneracy is thus a relational property that requires comparing the behavior of two or more components. In particular, if degeneracy is present in a pair of components, then there will exist conditions where the pair will appear functionally redundant but other conditions where they will appear functionally distinct.
Transfer entropy is a non-parametric statistic measuring the amount of directed (time-asymmetric) transfer of information between two random processes. Transfer entropy from a process X to another process Y is the amount of uncertainty reduced in future values of Y by knowing the past values of X given past values of Y. More specifically, if and for denote two random processes and the amount of information is measured using Shannon's entropy, the transfer entropy can be written as:
A neutral network is a set of genes all related by point mutations that have equivalent function or fitness. Each node represents a gene sequence and each line represents the mutation connecting two sequences. Neutral networks can be thought of as high, flat plateaus in a fitness landscape. During neutral evolution, genes can randomly move through neutral networks and traverse regions of sequence space which may have consequences for robustness and evolvability.
Direct coupling analysis or DCA is an umbrella term comprising several methods for analyzing sequence data in computational biology. The common idea of these methods is to use statistical modeling to quantify the strength of the direct relationship between two positions of a biological sequence, excluding effects from other positions. This contrasts usual measures of correlation, which can be large even if there is no direct relationship between the positions. Such a direct relationship can for example be the evolutionary pressure for two positions to maintain mutual compatibility in the biomolecular structure of the sequence, leading to molecular coevolution between the two positions.
In chemical kinetics, the Aquilanti–Mundim deformed Arrhenius model is a generalization of the standard Arrhenius law.

U-Net is a convolutional neural network that was developed for biomedical image segmentation at the Computer Science Department of the University of Freiburg. The network is based on a fully convolutional neural network whose architecture was modified and extended to work with fewer training images and to yield more precise segmentation. Segmentation of a 512 × 512 image takes less than a second on a modern (2015) GPU using the U-Net architecture.
