Title: Bayesian Segmental Models for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction

In this work, we develop segmental semi-Markov models (SSMM) to
exploit alignment profiles for protein secondary structure
prediction. A novel parameterized model is proposed as the
likelihood function for the SSMM to capture the segmental
conformation from the profiles. By incorporating the information
of long range interactions in $\beta$-sheets, this model is
capable to carry out inference on contact maps.
