Summary from Week 1:
-
The majority of students voted to work on a project involving Machine Learning in the domain of Bioinformatics.
-
In the Bioinformatics focus meeting led by Anya, an interesting addition was proposed: incorporating network structure as a feature in the machine learning model (credit: @moneuron).
-
The Machine Learning focus meeting led by Sam covered the initial steps in detail. All details can be found in the post.
-
Github setup started by @Prasun_Sharma
-
A more detailed summary will be shared by end of day for those who need additional guidance. For the next meeting, all members should try and complete:
- Downloading data manually or via api
- Creating a network
- Visualizing the network (see entries from @Moh_Saiger and @hahaharsini
- Coding a basic ml model for gene-disease association.
