“Network construction from data and network visualization” will be presented on Wednesday, April the 26th, at 14:30, room I-105, moderated by Prof. Rui Camacho from DEI.
By the author:
The lecture will show how to extract data from vector data in the form of a network – and how the analysis of the constructed network helps to improve the results of classical datamining, e.g. to reveal otherwise undetectable relationships. The advantage of networks is that the data is extended with links between certain (similar) pairs of data objects.
If we focus on biomedical data, the network approach is one of the innovative multivariate approaches to analyze complex biomedical datasets. Patient profile similarities are essential for observers to study and visually assess relationships between groups of similar patients, and to do this, patient data is converted into a patient similarity network.
