Abstract: The success of precision medicine largely relies on comprehensive characterization of patient tumors and their derived model systems to select the best therapy for each individual patient. Recent initiatives generated massive amounts of molecular data for healthy (GTEx) and tumor (TCGA) tissues from patients, as well as patient-derived cancer cell lines (Cancer Cell Line … Continued

Abstract: Data science has emerged as a distinct discipline that has also become a power enabler of science and engineering. In its deep interactions with other disciplines it is an example of the scientific convergence, which is one of the Ten Big Ideas for Future NSF Investments. The rapid growth of data science raises deep … Continued

Abstract: A primary goal of human genetics is to understand the genetic causes of phenotypic variation. Recent successes in genome-wide association studies have shown that achieving this goal requires collecting and analyzing data at scale. I will discuss projects that center around this thesis. First, I will discuss analyses of the genetics of lifespan in … Continued

Distinguished CIS Seminar Reception directly following seminar. Abstract: Classification and regression require to approximate functions in high dimensional spaces. Avoiding the dimensionality curse opens many questions in statistics, probability, harmonic analysis and geometry. Convolutional deep neural networks can obtain spectacular results for image analysis, speech understanding, natural languages and many other problems. We shall review … Continued

Abstract: We discuss a geometry-based statistical learning framework for performing model reduction and modeling of stochastic high-dimensional dynamical systems. We consider two complementary settings. In the first one, we are given long trajectories of a system, e.g. from molecular dynamics, and we discuss new techniques for estimating, in a robust fashion, an effective number of … Continued

Abstract Recently, there have been significant advances in single-cell genomic and proteomic technologies that can measure the expression of thousands of mRNA transcripts and dozens of proteins. However, this data suffers from sparsity and noise. Furthermore, its high dimensionality makes interpreting the data difficult for biologists. Our aim is to facilitate interpretation by providing a … Continued
