Study Notes
Introduction to Bioinformatics
- Bioinformatics is a combined field of various disciplines that deals with biological data analysis
- It focuses on analyzing and interpreting biological data using tools from various fields such as biology, computer science, and mathematics.
Biological data
- This field examines data from several sources including genetic, medical imaging, and even clinical data.
What is Machine Learning?
- ML is a field of computer science that focuses on enabling computers to 'learn' from data without explicit programming.
- Traditional programming requires manual code creation for every task, while ML allows the computer to learn the program from data.
Types of Machine Learning
- Supervised learning models create an output based on labeled input data.
- Unsupervised learning models analyze unlabeled data to identify patterns and structures.
- Semi-supervised learning models use a mix of labeled and unlabeled data to create outputs.
Supervised Learning
- Classification models are used to predict categories, such as "tumor type" in a diagnosis.
- Popular classification methods include K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine, and Decision Trees.
- Regression models are used to predict continuous values, such as "blood pressure" based on relevant factors.
Unsupervised Learning
- Clustering models group similar data points together without any predefined categories.
- Examples include clustering patients based on their disease subtypes or analyzing single-cell transcriptomic data.
Objective Functions
- The goal in machine learning is to find model parameters that minimize the loss function, which quantifies how well the model performs.
Loss Functions
- Different loss functions are used for classification and regression problems.
- Classification tasks often use 0-1 loss or cross-entropy loss to measure the model's prediction accuracy.
- Regression tasks typically use Mean Absolute Error (MAE) or Mean Squared Error (MSE) to evaluate how close predictions are to actual values.
Gradient Descent
- Gradient Descent is an optimization algorithm used to find the optimal model parameters by iteratively minimizing the loss function.
- It calculates the derivative of the loss function to determine which direction to adjust the parameters.
Stochastic Gradient Descent
- SGD uses a subset of the data to calculate the loss function and update parameters, reducing computational time.
Dimensionality Reduction
- High-dimensional data can be challenging to analyze because of the "curse of dimensionality."
- This refers to the increasing complexity in analyzing data as the number of variables grows.
Feature Selection
- This method aims to identify and select the most relevant features that contribute to the learning task, effectively reducing data dimensionality.
Latent Features
- Linear or nonlinear combinations of existing features can create more efficient representations of data.
- These new features can be used to improve the model's performance and reduce dimensionality.
