PRESENTATION:

This course provides an introduction on artificial intelligence techniques for bioinformatics. It gives an overview of basic concepts, techniques and algorithms in machine learning, knowledge representation and reasoning, and planning. The course will draw from numerous case studies and applications, so that students will learn how to apply these techniques to relevant bioinformatics problems.

PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES ACQUIRED IN THE SUBJECT:

General programme competences	G01	Use learning strategies autonomously for their application in the continuous improvement of professional practice.
	G02	Perform the analysis and synthesis of problems of their professional activity and apply them in similar environments.
	G05	Communicate professional topics in Spanish and / or English both orally and in writing.
	G06	Solve complex or unforeseen problems that arise during the professional activity within any type of organisation and adapt to the needs and demands of their professional environment.
	G07	Choose between different complex models of knowledge to solve problems.
	G09	Apply information and communication technologies in the professional field.
	G10	Apply creativity, independence of thought, self-criticism and autonomy in the professional practice.
Specific programme competences	E02	Develop the use and programming of computers, databases and computer programs and their application in bioinformatics.
Specific programme competences	E06	Apply the fundamental principles and basic techniques of intelligent systems and their practical application in the field of bioinformatics.
Learning outcomes	R01	Learn the basics of knowledge representation in artificial intelligence.
	R02	Apply artificial intelligence algorithms and methods.
	R03	Understand planning methods and algorithms
	R04	Apply statistical algorithms and methods.
	R05	Apply machine learning algorithms and methods.

PRE-REQUISITES:

This course will be delivered in English. Academic reading and writing skills are expected from students. Also, theory will be complemented with programming examples, so students should be able to understand and write code in R or Python.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

Class sessions: during this course a variety of teaching methods will be used including lectures, exercises and laboratory sessions. It is important that students participate actively in class, either in the classroom or through the online platform.

Tutorials: During these sessions, students can ask questions, clarify concepts, ask for additional feedback or bibliography either face to face or electronically.

Independent Study: Students are expected to complete all independent study tasks, which will be uploaded on the PDU regularly. Students are required to upload their completed tasks on the PDU before the deadline. It is therefore important that students check the PDU every week. All tasks must be completed in English.
