With the rise of new technologies, the volume of omics data in the fields of biology and medicine has grown exponentially in recent times and a major issue is to mine useful predictive knowledge from these data. Machine learning (ML) is a discipline in which
computer algorithms perform automated learning by using data to assist humans to deal with the large volume of multidimensional data. The analysis of such data is not trivial, and ML is a necessary tool to extract knowledge and make predictions that can advance
the field of bioinformatics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This 2-day course will introduce participants to common ML algorithms and teach how to apply them to omics data in extensive practical sessions. This course is intended for PhD students, post-docs and staff scientists
who are interested in applying ML to analyze these data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
