Introduction to JADBIO: Automated Machine Learning for the Biologist [WEBINAR]
The University of Pittsburgh and Dr. Ioannis Tsamardinos, Professor of Computer Science & Bioinformatics at the University of Crete and CEO at JADBio, will be presenting the Webinar on “Introduction to JADBIO: Automated Machine Learning for the Biologist”, Tuesday, November 17th, 10-11:30 am ET. The University of Pitsburg is Dr. Ioannis Tsamardinos alma mater, since 2011, and he’s always happy to be returning to the place he earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics. You can register for the Webinar with a Pitt email address unless you are a UPMC Resident or Fellow.
Description of the webinar
Professor Ioannis Tsamardinos will present the science and practice of JADBio (or Just Add Data), an automated machine learning tool, specifically designed for biomedical data, such as multi-omics studies.
JADBio‘s easy-to-use interface allows biologists, bioinformaticians, clinicians, and non-expert analysts to perform sophisticated analyses with the click of a button. It is fully automatic drastically boosting productivity, even for expert analysts. It tries thousands of combinations of algorithms and tuning parameters to find the optimal model. Novel statistical methods avoid overfitting and overestimation of performance even for low sample sizes. It performs feature selection (biosignature identification) by removing irrelevant, but also redundant features (markers) for prediction. It has been validated on hundreds of public datasets, producing novel scientific results.
The webinar will present the functionalities and capabilities of the automated machine learning tool, demonstrated by several case studies in biomedicine. It will also discuss the science behind it and its novel algorithms. The webinar participants will also able to register with their Pitt emails and test, free of cost, the JADBio platform for an extended 3-month period.
