Discovery of structures and processes from biological data -- an outsider point of view
Date: 12 March 2008 (Wednesday)
Time: 12:30pm - 1:30pm
Venue: 126, C N Yang Reading Room, Science Centre North Block
Speaker: Prof. LEUNG Yee, Professor of Geography, Department of Geography & Resource Management
Abstract: Basic concepts of knowledge discovery in data will be discussed in this talk. Methods for the discovery of structures and processes hidden in data will be examined from the non-technical point of view. In particular, a vision-based method for the uncovering of natural structures in data will be introduced. A regression-class decomposition method for the unraveling of structures in mixture data will be discussed. Neural and evolutionary computation methods and other relevant frameworks will also be introduced for the plausible analysis of biological data. The discussion will be substantiated by some examples in human genome and evolution research.
