Dear All, Prof. Cassio P. de Campos will give a seminar on Thursday, February 19 at 11 am: 'Learning Bayesian Networks with Biomedical Applications'. (See abstract below) Please contact me if you would like to have a meeting with Prof. Cassio P. de Campos in the afternoon. The lunch meeting (12-14h) is open to PhD students registered at the Doctoral Schools.

It discusses on recent methods and theoretical results to speed up computations and to improve accuracy. Applications arising in real-data biomedical problems are described, where it is argued that Bayesian networks can provide meaningful and interpretable results. In particular, we discuss on unsupervised clustering of copy number data, as well as data imputation with application in survival analysis of diffuse large B cell and marginal zone lymphoma patients.
