Content

Machine learning is used in many areas of medicine to automate certain processes, find intelligent representations of complex data, and make predictions about phenotypes of interest or other labels. Machine learning techniques have also been applied and developed in infection research for quite some time. In this seminar, we will cover several areas ranging from Machine Learning assisted Computational Epidemiology, to Resistance Prediction of Infectious Agents, to Predicting Viral Evolution.

Objectives

The students know and can critically reflect the most important concepts, theories and methods in how to control infections with machine learning metho
