Project description

The goal of this project is to develop and apply novel machine learning techniques to predict cancer outcome (for example, recurrence or survival) from multi-modal patient data (including, medical notes in natural languages and the outcome of various lab analyses, and multiple genomic data modalities, such as copy number variation, gene expression or epigenetic data). I will investigate mathematical and computational frameworks to represent and learn from such heterogeneous data, and apply them on real data available through collaborations with cancer hospitals.
