<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The course introduces basic techniques from the fields of pattern recognition and machine learning to solve bioinformatics problems. After having followed this course, a student should have an overview of basic pattern
recognition techniques and be able to recognize what method is most applicable to classification problems (s)he encounters in bioinformatics applications. The course is aimed at PhD students with a background in bioinformatics, computer science or a related
field; a working knowledge of basic statistics and linear algebra is assumed. Preparation material on statistics and linear algebra will be distributed before the course, to be studied by students missing the required background.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
