Abstract
The course introduces the theory and practice of machine learning algorithms and their applications in the area of bioinformatics. The students will learn data preprocessing techniques, methods of dimension reduction, technique of modeling using machine-learning algorithms, parameter tuning. The studied algorithms include linear regression with regularization (ridge regression, elastic net, lasso), multivariate adaptive regression splines, support vector machines, neural networks, k-nearest neighbors, classification and regression trees, random forest, gradient boosting. Workshops, which follow the lectures, seek to empower students with the practical skills in predictive modeling software tools, packages and applications. Many case studies of predictive models for bioinformatics data sets will be considered.
Learning Objectives
- To know the theory of the process and components of predictive modeling, types of predictive models, key steps of model creation, such as data-preprocessing, model construction and assessment of model performance
