Predicting RNA secondary structure using a stochastic conjunctive grammar

In this thesis I extend a class of grammars called conjunctive grammars to a stochastic form called stochastic conjunctive grammars. This extension allows the grammars to predict pseudoknotted RNA secondary structure. Since observing sec- ondary structure is hard and expensive to do with today�...
