Title: Large-Scale Structured Sparse Learning for Biomedical Data Analysis
by Dr. Heng Huang, Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Texas, Arlington.
Abstract: Sparsity is one of the intrinsic properties of real-world data, thus the sparse learning has recently emerged as a powerful tool to obtain models of high-dimensional data with high degree of interpretability at low computational cost, and provide great opportunities to analyze the big, complex, and diverse datasets. By enforcing properly designed structured sparsity, we can integrate the specific data/feature structures and domain knowledge into the machine learning models to simplify data models and discover predictive patterns in biomedical data analytics. Data science research is accelerating the translation of biological and biomedical data to advance the detection, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases, including the recently announced BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) and Precision Medicine Initiatives. To address the challenging problems in current biomedical data analysis, I will introduce several newly developed large-scale structured sparse learning models for multi-dimensional data integration, heterogeneous multi-task learning, group/graph structured data analysis, longitudinal feature learning, etc. I will also show how to utilize these structured sparsity learning algorithms to solve various biomedical applications.
