Digital Neurocomputing
The course will focus on Machine Learning for Bioinformatics, for graduate students in engineering, biologic & genomic sciences. It covers machine learning techniques & explains how can they apply to bioinformatics. Topics are:
(a) Overview of molecular biology,
(b) Adaptive techniques for feature selection & dimension reduction include PCA, ICA, FDA, etc.
(c) Adaptive cluster discovery: K-means, EM, SOFM, hierarchical clustering & genomic applications.
(d) Adaptive classifiers such as BP, GMM, SVM, & genomic applications.
(e) Multi-modal fusion to combine information from multiple biological & algorithmic modalities.
