Machine Learning for Biomedical Applications

BIO542
4

This course is designed for students having wide range of background like biology, medical science, pharmacology, bioinformatics, computer science. This course is divided in following three sections; i) Major challenges in the field of biomedical science, ii) Introduction /implementation of machine learning techniques for developing prediction models, and iii) solving biomedical problems using machine learning techniques. This course will be help students in developing novel methods for solving real-life problems in the field of biological and health sciences. Attempt will made to bridge gap between students and world class researchers, studentds will be exposed to highly accurate methods based on machine learning techniques (research papers).

  1. Understanding prediction/ classification/ clustering realated challenges in biomedical and health science.
  2. How to develop prediction models using major learning techniques like SVM, ANN, Random Forest, KNN
  3. Generating features for biomolecules and biomedical images. Selecting best features/dimension reduction/PCA for developing models
  4. Measuring performance of methods and cross-validation techniques for in silico valiadtion of methods.
