BME 5310

Machine Learning with Biomedical Data

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

Course provides a theoretical foundation for advanced machine learning methods applicable to the analysis of large-scale biomedical data. These applications often have two distinct goals: (1) computation of predictions, and (2) understanding underlying biological mechanisms. A range of examples will be included that cover various data modalities (e.g., DNA sequence data, electronic health record data, images) and different goals. There will be a class project that will involve identifying a data-set, selection of appropriate machine learning problem, writing code and conducting analyses, an oral presentation of results and a written report.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MATH 2940 or equivalent, BTRY 3010 or CEE 3040, or permission of instructor. Recommended prerequisite: CS 1110 or CS 1112 or equivalent.
