http://www.nature.com/nrg/journal/v16/n6/full/nrg3920.html Nice overview of key distinctions betw generative & discriminative models
In their review, “Machine learning in genetics and genomics”, Libbrecht and Noble overview important aspects of application of machine learning to genomic data. The review presents illustrative classical genomics problems where machine learning techniques have proven useful and describes the differences between supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised learning as well as generative and discriminative models. The authors discuss considerations that should be made when selecting the right machine learning approach depending on the biological problem and data at hand, provide general practical guidelines and suggest possible solutions to common challenges.
