Big Data Applications to Biomedical Informatics
We use a variety of machine learning (ML) and data mining (DM) tools to provide insights into biomedical problems. This research is rooted in the explosion of data available for biomedical research. In recent years we have focused on temporal ML and DM as well as on understanding end-to-end uncertainty quantification for biomedical prediction and modeling. For the first, we are developing a comprehensive program in computational diabetes, with a focus on understanding the onset of T1D. For the second we are exploring both classical techniques such as Monte Carlo simulations as well recent advances in Conformal Prediction.
