About this Class

An exciting opportunity at the intersection of the biomedical sciences and machine learning stems from the growing availability of large-scale multi-modal data (imaging-based and sequencing-based, observational and perturbational, at the single-cell level, tissue-level, and organism-level). Traditional representation learning methods, although often highly successful in predictive tasks, do not generally elucidate underlying causal mechanisms. Dr. Uhler will present initial ideas towards building a statistical and computational framework for causal representation learning and its applications towards identifying novel disease biomarkers as well as inferring gene regulation in health and disease.
