Deep Learning in Biomedicine and Genomics: An Introduction and Applications to Next-generation Sequencing and Disease Diagnostics

• We will review the history and taxonomy of machine learning and artificial intelligence
• We will introduce deep learning, covering both what it is and why its so exciting.
• We will review a highlight a few deep learning applications to biomedical problems across the field
• We will do a deep dive into three recent deep learning applications from Google Brain:
• Detection of cancer cells in pathology images
• Detection of diabetic retinopathy from fundus images of the eye
• Calling SNP and indel variants in next-generation sequencing data
