AI4GH Seminar Series| Artificial Intelligence for Genomics and Health: Introduction and Overview

-

B2 R5220

Abstract Genomics and health are prime areas for the development and application of novel intelligent algorithms due to a large amount of available research data, the high complexity of the problem, and the significant social and economic benefits of improving health outcomes in humans. In the past, genomics and health have been one of the key drivers in the development of Artificial Intelligence methods, including machine learning, expert systems, or graph-based algorithms. I will introduce the new seminar series on Artificial Intelligence for Genomics and Health (AI4GH), and then discuss our
