Machine Learning Coffee Seminar: Professor Juho Rousu, Aalto University

Weekly seminars held jointly by the Aalto University and the University of Helsinki.

Helsinki region machine learning researchers will start our week by an exciting machine learning talk and discussion over coffee before and after the talk. The talks will start 9:15, with coffee served from 9:00. The venue is seminar room T5, CS building.

Metabolite Identification Through Machine Learning

Juho Rousu
Professor, Aalto University

Abstract:

Identification of small molecules from biological samples remains a major bottleneck in understanding the inner working of biological cells and their environment. Machine learning on data from large public databases of tandem mass spectrometric data has transformed this field in recent years, witnessing an increase of identification rates by 150%. In this presentation, I will outline the key machine learning methods behind this development: kernel-based learning of molecular fingerprints, multiple kernel learning, structured prediction as well as some recent advances.
