Dear all, We are pleased to announce the Physalia online course: Machine Learning Methods for Longitudinal Data with Python. Dates: 6th-9th May Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/longitudinal-data/ ) This course focuses on machine learning techniques for analyzing longitudinal (sequence) data data collected repeatedly over time or space with an emphasis on handling time and cause-effect relationships. You will learn how to manage the unique challenges posed by these data, from visualization and modeling to interpreting results. By the end of the course, you will: Understand how to manage time and cause dependencies in data Recognize and address biases such as confounding, colliding, and mediator bias Apply machine learning techniques to sequence data Use graph models, Bayesian networks, and time-series forecasting Analyze real-life biological datasets, including epidemiology and gene expression data This course is designed for students, researchers, and professionals working with biological data particularly those analyzing time-based or causation-driven datasets. A basic understanding of Python and Linux is helpful but not required. Course Schedule (Berlin time): Day 1 (2-8 PM): Introduction to sequence data, statistical models, handling biases Day 2 (2-8 PM): Graph models, Bayesian networks, machine learning for time-series prediction Day 3 (2-8 PM): Longitudinal data in epidemiology, deep learning, Transformer models Day 4 (2-8 PM): Model diagnostics, multi-omics case study, final quiz and discussion For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/longitudinal-data/ ) For any questions or further information, feel free to get in touch.
