Abstract:

We will explore several new innovations in machine learning such as deep learning and random forests, which are advancing biomedical applications, including biomarker discovery and precision medicine. We will explore how statistical reasoning can sometimes be applied to machine learning tools from computer science and engineering to improve performance in small sample sizes and messy data settings. We will also explore several important, open research questions.
