Learning outcomes

The course aims to provide some basic knowledge of machine learning methods and models for the analysis of biomedical data with emphasis on aspects related to explainability (XAI). At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate the ability to design and conduct a study of biomedical data, from their analysis to the application of models aimed at solving the starting question/thesis.

Program

Theory:
1. Introduction to the landscape of biomedical data analysis
2. Visualization and representations of relationships through the main graphical representations
3. Data modeling through the main prediction and classification models used in the biomedical field
4. Presentation of the solution through the evaluation of the model performance
5. Basic explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods for interpreting results
Laboratory:
In order to provide students with the practical basis for managing simple studies of biomedical data, great importance will be given to the laboratory part in which a specific problem to be solved will be presented and addressed. During this phase, the code that allows you to solve the problem will first be presented and commented on, and then some exercises will be proposed to solve in the remaining time. The exercises will be carried out in Python.
