What is the meeting about? | Clusters, gene flow and artificial genotypes: looking at population structure from a deep learning angle. |
Who is the responsible presenter? | Marcin Kierzcak, NBIS, Uppsala University |
Abstract: (TBA) We will look at different ways of modelling and visualising population structure based on genomic kinship. Starting from more traditional approaches like PCA or MDS as benchmark, we will see how one can build more complex deep learning-based models (autoencoders) and we will discuss when such approach can be beneficial. Finally, we are going to see how generative deep learning (VAEs) can be used to augment original input data with some artificially-generated individuals with desired pre-defined kinship relationships.
