  • Description: “In my talk, I’ll introduce our research at the interface of machine learning and statistics towards new methods for large-scale epidemiologic studies. We are working on models and algorithms that allow us to analyze high-dimensional genotypes and phenotypes from imaging and sequencing at scale. I’ll be talking about our work on mixed models for confounder correction, quantitative phenotyping using deep learning, as well as our works on novel statistical tests on deep learning embeddings of images.”
  • Location: Seminar room of the Neurology Clinic; Bonhoefferweg 3 entrance, 3rdfloor, Charité – Campus Mitte
