Course Content (Syllabus)
In the frame of the course technical introduction is given to pattern classification and identification, with emphasis on biomedical data. The particular classical and modern techniques of machine learning is studied, and the areas and approaches of applications is presented. Topics, such as the quantification and diagnosis of disease as well as patient classification is combined with structural data analysis with methods including nonlinear and connectivity analysis and complex networks, as well as unstructured data and text analysis and image analysis. In terms of methodology, machine learning techniques for classification and regression are presented (e.g., linear classification and regression, support vector machines, manifold learning as well as ensemble learning, such as random forests, bagging and boosting), including dimension reduction techniques. Projects are given in the application of machine learning techniques in clinical practice. The course focuses on the understanding and application of machine learning techniques commonly used in biomedical applications.
