Artificial Intelligence In Bioinformatics

This free course is heavily based on the ideology of “learning by doing” and, as a result, will be very hands-on. Students will learn a lot more about the emerging field of the future, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, through a series of mini-projects relating to biology in a field known as bioinformatics that can be expanded on after the course. As a result of the projects being done throughout the course, students will also gain further research and publication ideas, such as science fairs and journals. These projects include:

• Using breast cancer dimension data to classify breast cancer
• Classifying bioassay data
• Detecting pneumonia by analyzing lung images with convolutional neural networks
• Detecting malaria by analyzing skin images
