On March 23-27, 2015,&nbsp; &nbsp;NIBC/BioSB organises the fourth edition of the&nbsp; PhD Course Pattern Recognition in Amsterdam.
<br>
<br>
The course aims at PhD students with a background in bioinformatics, computer science or a related field. The course introduces basic techniques from the fields of pattern recognition and machine learning to solve bioinformatics problems. After having followed
 this course, a student should have an overview of basic pattern recognition techniques and be able to recognize what method is most applicable to classification problems (s)he encounters in bioinformatics applications. The course is aimed at PhD students with
 a background in bioinformatics, computer science or a related field; a working knowledge of basic statistics and linear algebra is assumed. Preparation material on statistics and linear algebra will be distributed before the course, to be studied by students
 missing the required background.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
