On AIRR 5: Machine learning and AIRR or Looking for the needle in a needle stack with Dr. Lindsay Cowell and Dr. Victor Greiff

Today we discuss machine learning with Dr. Lindsay Cowell and Dr. Victor Greiff. Machine learning is about pattern recognition and in AIRR-seq the patterns link to diseases and antigen binding. AIRR is nearly a perfect machine learning problem because the underlying patterns are unclear and complex - it is essentially looking for the needle in a needle stack.

Dr. Cowell is from the Biomedical Informatics Division in the Department of Clinical Sciences, UT Southwestern, USA and Dr. Greiff heads  the Laboratory for Computational and Systems Immunology at the Department of Immunology of University of Oslo, Norway.

The episode is hosted by Dr. Ulrik Stervbo and Dr. Zhaoqing Ding.
