MACHINE LEARNING and the LIFE SCIENCES: BEYOND DATA ANALYSIS

Machine learning is about understanding
and building computational processes for
adapting to data and experience – an ability
that for most of natural history has only
existed in living organisms. It’s also a
valuable source of new tools for analyzing
biological data. But does its relevance
extend beyond data analysis? Adams will
discuss two approaches that push the
boundary: automated design of biologically
relevant systems (e.g., organic molecules,
DNA sequences, biomimetic robots), and
the use of biomolecules to implement
machine learning algorithms without the
need for digital models of computation.
