In the era of the rise against statistical significance: what have we (not) learnt from millions of scientific papers with P-values
The diversity of repertoires of B-cell and T-cell receptors is generated by a stochastic process of gene rearrangement called VDJ recombination, and is later sculpted by selection, clonal proliferation, and somatic hypermutations. I will show how these processes can be learned quantitatively from high-throughput repertoire...
pBRIT: gene prioritization by correlating functional and phenotypic annotations through integrative data fusion.
Inverse problem : an application in brain imaging and in cancerology Inverse problem is a class of models in which we try to determine the causes of a phenomenon from the experimental observations of its effects. During my presentation, I will speak about two inverse...

Simon Dellicour, ULB Landscape phylogeography - Using viral gene sequences to compare and explain the heterogeneous spatial dynamics of virus epidemics
An interpretable semi-supervised classifier with bioinformatics applications. Isel Grau (VUB) In the context of medical or bioinformatic applications of machine learning, obtaining data instances is a relatively easy process but labeling them could become quite expensive or tedious. Such scenarios lead to datasets with few...
Pushing the limits in automated NMR structure determination Tomas Brazdil (Masaryk University) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a technique for determining the structural and dynamic properties of molecules. NMR spectroscopy generates complex data whose analysis is a laborious task and the road to NMR...
