This online lecture gives an introduction to hubness-aware machine learning. Hubness-aware classifiers, instance selection techniques and regression approaches
are covered, while other hubness-aware machine learning techniques are mentioned too (e.g. hubness-aware clustering). The lecture is splitted into
short videos, each one having a length of a few minutes. These videos are organized into a youtube playlist.
After watching the videos, you may want to check out the Self-Check Quiz.
Online course: Processing and Mining Biomedical Data
This online course aims to give an introduction into various data processing and analysis tasks related to biomedical data. In this course, we explain the basic
techniques of data mining, such as classification, regression and matrix factorisation and show how these techniques can be used to biomedical problem. A separate
module is devoted to the basic data processing tasks associated with next generation sequencing (NGS) data. Self-check quizes are attached to the course so that
participants can check if they followed the concepts presented in the lecture.
No prior knowledge of biology or computer science is assumed from the students of the course, therefore we hope that the course may be useful both for
a broad audience and university students as an introduction to the analysis of biomedical data.
