Aim and content
This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline.
After the enrolment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list.
The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Understand basic concepts in machine learning
2. Understand the impact of data on machine learning outcomes
3. Apply machine learning to biological and medical datasets
4. Apply python machine learning modules
5. Evaluate the performance of machine learning systems
6. Disseminate the project results in a technical report
Content
Introduction to machine learning (5 days)
Day1
Introduction to data analysis and machine learning.
Data wrangling, testing methods, etc .
Classic approaches, such as logistic regression, support vector machines, random forests.
Intro to python for data analysis and machine learning (numpy, pandas, Scikit-learn).
Practicals on PCA and classic machine learning using scikit-learn.
Day2
Neural networks.
Basics of feed-forward neural networks. Back-propagation. Model complexity and over-fitting.
Introduction to pytorch.
Practical on implementing a feed-forward network for biomedical data using Google colab.
Day3
Overview of the ZOO of neural networks.
Pick from: Variational autoencoders, Generative adversarial networks, recurrent networks, transformers, etc.
Practicals and begin a small project to be presented on the last day.
Day4
Example applications in the biomedical field.
Continue work on projects.
Day5
Groups present small projects.
Example applications in the biomedical field. Seminars by invited speakers.
Introduction to subsequent hackathon workshop and presentation of projects.
Students choose top-3 projects to join.
Participation in this course is a prerequisite to participate in the 4-day follow-up course 'Hackathon - Application of machine learning in biomedical research'
