A) The seminar
Step by step, in an accompanying Moodle course there will be published assignments and quizzes.
Assignments:
Each assignment has a deadline till which the assignment should be submitted for grading. A draft solution of an assignment can be edited at any time, but the time of submission is the time you click the button "Submit solution". After clicking this button you cannot edit your submission anymore, but you can ask (per e-mail) your teacher to return the assignment back into the draft state. Each submitted assignment will be graded by the teacher with 0-10 points. During the semester, you will solve 4 assignments.
A typical solution for an assignment will consist of a text - a description of the solution - and a code of a program/script used for solving the assignment. Submit your texts as a PDF-file or alternatively as an RTF-file, the source codes should be submitted as plain ASCII files. Alternatively, it is possible to submit description and code in a single file in the form of a Jupyter notebook. Warning: If N≥2 participants of the course will submit solutions which are very similar or identical, all these solutions will be considered as a single solution. The solution will be graded by B points according to its quality and all students who submitted it will obtain only the integer part of the value B/N points.
Quizzes:
Besides the assignments, you will solve several on-line quizzes. During the term, there will be assigned several short quizzes for at most 10 points altogether. Each quiz will have set up also a deadline. In contrast to assignments, it will be not possible to solve any quiz after its deadline.
For obtaining credits for the seminar it is necessary:
The quizzes are not among the necessary conditions for obtaining credits for the seminar. During seminars, it is possible to obtain additional points
All points obtained during the seminars will be accounted for up to 40% of the final score of the exam.
Continuous work throughout the whole term is required to obtain the credits, therefore there will be no additional possibilities to acquire them later.
B) The lecture
As already mentioned above, points acquired within the seminar will account for up to 40% of the final score for the exam. The exam at the end of this term will add up to the remaining 60% to the final score. The following table gives the final grade according to the achieved score:

1. Data preprocessing. 2. How to compare machine learning algorithms. 3. Methods of supervised learning: classification (decision trees, Bayesian classifiers, logistic regression, discriminant analysis, nearest neighbour, support vector machines, neural networks, combination of classifiers - boosting) and their applications in genomics, proteomics and system biology. 4. Methods of unsupervised learning: clustering (partition clustering, k-means, hierarchical clustering, validation of clustering) and its application in bioinformatics. 5. Probabilistic graphical models (Bayesian networks, Gaussian networks) and their applications (in genomics and system biology). 6. Optimization and its application in bioinformatics.
The lecture is accompanied by a seminary, where the methods from the lecture will be applied to real and artificial biological data. For implementing the algorithms there will be used mainly an interactive language Python with libraries for machine learning and processing of biological data. The seminary is completed by student projects. |
