Keynote: The Pulse of Artificial Intelligence: Charting the Rhythm of the Biomedical Transformation (Plenary Pharma CI + EPMRC)
Due to the availability of data and corresponding computing capacities, more and more cognitive tasks can be assigned to computers that learn independently to improve our understanding, increase our problem-solving capacity or simply help us remember.
In this way, artificial intelligence (AI) systems are finding more and more niches in which they can improve our capabilities not only physically but also intellectually. In recent years, we focussed on a systematic collection o data to get a deep understanding of biological entities and the relations among them. Starting with the classification and current developments in the field of AI, this talk will give an overview how the data collected, curated and employed. In specific, how such data can used to develop practical applications for biological sequence analyses, how to combine multiple data modalities to identify disease-causing biomarkers, and how to develop explainable application for drug repurposing and repositioning.
