About Caroline Uhler, Ph.D. (MIT)
Full Professor, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Institute for Data, Systems, and Society
Core Faculty and Director of the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
About this Class
An exciting opportunity at the intersection of the biomedical sciences and machine learning stems from the growing availability of large-scale multi-modal data (imaging-based and sequencing-based, observational and perturbational, at the single-cell level, tissue-level, and organism-level). Traditional representation learning methods, although often highly successful in predictive tasks, do not generally elucidate underlying causal mechanisms. Dr. Uhler will present initial ideas towards building a statistical and computational framework for causal representation learning and its applications towards identifying novel disease biomarkers as well as inferring gene regulation in health and disease.
