Summary: Systems of interacting entities, modeled as graphs, are pervasive in biology and medicine. The class will cover advanced topics in signal processing and machine learning on graphs and networks, and will showcase applications of the tools in biomedicine. It will be held as an advanced seminar, which will familiarize students with recent developments in the topic, through a combination of lectures on some fundamentals on processing and analyzing data on graphs, and the presentation of original research articles that make use of these tools for scientific advances in biology and medicine.

When: Every Wednesday 10:15-12:00
