Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the following SIB course on:
*Introduction to Machine Learning, 22 - 23 July 2020, streamed**. *
With the rise in high-throughput sequencing technologies, the volume of
omics data has grown exponentially in recent times and a major issue is
to mine useful knowledge from these data which are also heterogeneous in
nature. Machine learning (ML) is a discipline in which computers perform
automated learning without being programmed explicitly and assist humans
to make sense of large and complex data sets. The analysis of complex
high-volume data is not trivial and classical tools cannot be used to
explore their full potential. Machine learning can thus be very useful
in mining large omics data sets to uncover new insights that can advance
the field of bioinformatics.
This 2-day course will introduce participants to the machine learning
taxonomy and the applications of common machine learning algorithms to
omics data. The course will cover the common methods being used to
analyze different omics data sets by providing a practical context
through the use of basic but widely used R libraries. The course will
comprise a number of hands-on exercises and challenges where the
participants will acquire a first understanding of the standard ML
processes, as well as the practical skills in applying them on familiar
problems and publicly available real-world data sets.
Further detailed information, prerequisites and application form are
available here

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at
training at sib.swiss.
Have a nice day,
Monique
