BINF 760 - Machine Learning for BioinformaticsCredits: 3
Machine learning and data mining methods relevant to application to problems in computational biology. Methods include decision trees, random forests, rule learning methods, support vector machines, neural networks, genetic algorithms, instance-based learning, Bayesian networks, and evaluation metrics for learning systems. Applications include cancer prediction, gene finding, protein function classification, gene regulation network inference, and other recent bioinformatics applications selected from the literature.
Prerequisites
Familiarity with bioinformatics methods and databases (e.g., BINF 630), molecular cell biology (e.g., BINF 631), bioinformatics programming (e.g., BINF 634), or permission of the instructor.
Notes
In addition to lectures from the instructor, students will present papers from the literature and complete a machine learning project.
