Description

This seminar consists of semester-long research projects. The projects span topics from core machine learning research, such as generative models, uncertainty quantification, and interpretability; as well as applications in the biomedical and health sciences, such as epidemiological N-of-1 trials, genetics, and medical imaging. Students are expected to work closely with their individual supervisors (PhD students and PostDocs at the Digital Health - Machine Learning group), make substantial progress on their task, and give a presentation at the end of the semester. Especially successful projects may additionally lead to the publication of a scientific paper.

Students are required to have good coding skills (language will depend on the topic, but mostly Python and R) and have at least a basic understanding of modern machine learning, e.g. through the Deep Learning lecture at HPI or similar online courses.
