Guide to evaluating the application of machine learning methods in genetics literature

Goals of this webinar:

  • To describe the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL).

  • To describe general scenarios when ML is appropriate.

  • To understand methods for comparing the performance of different ML algorithms

  • To layout general criteria to examine when evaluating literature that includes machine learning algorithms
