Machine Learning Coffee Seminars | HIIT [PDF]

Machine Learning Coffee seminars are weekly seminars held jointly by the Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. The seminars aim to gather people from different fields of science with interest in machine learning. Seminars will be held weekly on Mondays at 9 am - 10 am. The location alternates between Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. At Aalto University, talks will be held in Konemiehentie 2, seminar room T5 and at the University of Helsinki in Kumpula, seminar room Exactum D123 (Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2b), unless otherwise noted. Talks will begin at 9:15 am and coffee will be served from 9:00 am. Subscribe (https://list.aalto.fi/mailman/listinfo/hiit-mlcs-list) to our mailing list where seminar topics are announced beforehand.

This week we will have multiple machine learning talks at Aalto. We cancel the normal Monday session so that we can meet in them according to the following plan:

Abstract: Somatic mutations in cancer have accumulated during its evolution and are caused by different exposures to carcinogens and therapeutic agents, as well as, intrinsic errors that occur during DNA replication. Analysing a set of cancer samples jointly allows to explain their somatic mutations as a linear combination of (to be learned) mutational signatures. In this presentation I will discuss the problem of learning mutational signatures from cancer data using probabilistic modelling and nonnegative matrix factorisation. I further describe our on going work using mutational signatures in the context of drug response prediction and extensions of the basic model to explicitly include DNA repair processes. .
