报告摘要：
The big data analytics rely on advanced data mining and machine learning methods. In this presentation I will introduce the new advances of big data research in the United Stated of American and then present our research in data mining and machine learning, particularly in deep learning and deep transfer learning, and their applications in bioinformatics, medical science and toxicity analysis. A new Bayesian learning and optimization model (BLOM) was developed in our Data Mining and Bioinformatics Laboratory for inferring gene regulatory networks from time series microarray data. This approach successfully identified hub genes and several important gene regulation relationships in the pathways and also addressed the dynamic change of biological networks in the course of the treatment and recovery of different species. I will also present our current research in multi-label classification, deep learning and deep transfer learning methods for the healthcare risk prediction, toxicity analysis and pattern recognition. Experiment results show that the proposed methods result in better performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency, and can be generalized and applied to the data analysis in other areas.
