NBIS AI and IO Seminar Series

Introduction

NBIS AI and IO Seminar series aims to facilitate knowledge sharing pertaining to artificial intelligence (AI) and integrative omics (IO) among the life science community. The focus is being put on Machine Learning approaches including deep learning neural network models used in data-driven life science projects, as well as on integrative data analysis studies, where data from multiple sources are combined to gain novel insights.

The seminar series is open to everyone and is organised by the NBIS AI and IO Tech Group. 

Speakers from both life science academia and industry are welcome.

How

The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms (with some exceptions), typically between 10 and 11 am, with ca. 45 min long presentation and 15 min discussion. 

Each seminar session has it own page in Meeting info folder in the left hand marginal field

• date and time and location of the meeting
• title of the presentation
• name of responsible presenter
• preferably an abstract from the presenter on the presentation
• reference and link or pdf/slides of the presentation (added after the talk)

Brief History

The seminar series started out as the NBIS Integrative Journal Club in 2016. However, the integrative scope was interpreted more and more freely and included other ML approaches such as Neural Nets. In connection to NBIS reorganisation, 2022, which was partly due to the advent of the Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) initiative but also due to NBIS growth requiring it, the JC became associated with the new NBIS AI and IO tech group. It was time to formalise the extended scope of the journal club and let the name mirror the changes.
