About the symposium:
This symposium is the fourth in an annual series of events presenting the latest results from research in Data Science for Personalized Medicine (DS4PM) at the Center for Medical Statistics, Informatics and Intelligent Systems (CeMSIIS), their partner institutions, and beyond. It aims at addressing clinicians, biologists or other life scientists together with researchers from data science in order to spur relevant future research in Vienna and beyond. As invited speaker, it features Sepp Hochreiter, head of the Institute of Bioinformatics at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.
One focus of his year’s symposium is on machine learning, in particular deep learning, to analyze data in personalized medicine applications. Sepp Hochreiter is a pioneer in this field and, among others, the inventor of “Long Short Term Memory”, a powerful algorithm to learn from long time series.
