AI Health Virtual Seminar Series: Introduction to Basic Concepts in Machine Learning

Dr. Ricardo Henao will introduce the basic concepts of machine learning with a focus on intuition and examples. The simpler and widely used logistic regression model will be introduced first, and from this, the multilayered neural network will be introduced as a generalization. Concepts of parameter learning (optimization), generalization (and overfitting), validation and performance evaluation will also be introduced.

Please join us for Dr. Henao's first seminar since returning to Duke on July 1st after a leave of absence at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia. Dr. Henao has returned to North Carolina as Associate Director of Clinical Trials AI for the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI) and as a member of AI Health's Faculty Council. Dr. Henao is Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Duke University School of Medicine.
