Offer DescriptionThe use of Machine Learning methods for the analysis of the genotype-phenotype relation is currently hindered by two main problems: (1) the size of the datasets compared to the high dimensionality of the genetic input features; (2) the interpretability of the results obtained in medical/biological terms.

To try to mitigate both problems, the use of neural networks that incorporate prior biological information into their architecture will be tested.

In this way, it will be possible to simultaneously reduce the number of parameters to be estimated in the training phase and to define latent features that are directly linked to known biological items.

This approach has the potential to make the information extracted from genetic data more easily adoptable in clinical practice.
