We will study how to train ML algorithms with them. 4) Genomics data: ML in genomics is still an emerging subfield, but given that genomics data are arguably the most extensive and complex datasets that can be found in biomedicine, it is expected that many relevant ML applications will arise in the near future. We will review and discuss current applications and challenges. | |||||

| Inhalt | In the first part of the semester, in each week, we will first present the theoretical concepts of Bayesian phylodynamics. The presentation will be followed by attendees using the software package BEAST v2 to apply these theoretical concepts to empirical data. We use previously published datasets on e.g. Ebola, Zika, Yellow Fever, Apes, and Penguins for analysis. Examples of these practical tutorials are available on https://taming-the-beast.org/. In the second part of the semester, the students choose an empirical dataset of genetic sequencing data and possibly some non-genetic metadata. They then design and conduct a research project in which they perform Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of their dataset. The weekly class is intended to discuss and monitor progress and to address students’ questions very interactively.

| Inhalt | Graphical models are a marriage between probability theory and graph theory. They combine the notion of probabilities with efficient algorithms for inference among many random variables. Graphical models play an important role in computational biology, because they explicitly address two features that are inherent to biological systems: complexity and uncertainty.

They will become able to construct their own uncertainty and risk assessment models (in Python), hence basic understanding of scientific programming forms a prerequisite of the course. | |||||
| Inhalt | The first part of the course covers methods to quantify uncertainty in detecting and attributing human influence on climate change and to generate probabilistic climate change projections on global to regional scales. Model evaluation, calibration and structural error are discussed. In the second part, quantification of risks associated with local climate impacts and the economics of different baskets of climate adaptation options are assessed – leading to informed decisions to optimally allocate resources. Such pre-emptive risk management allows evaluating a mix of prevention, preparation, response, recovery, and (financial) risk transfer actions, resulting in an optimal balance of public and private contributions to risk management, aiming at a more resilient society. The course provides an introduction to the following themes: 1) basics of probabilistic modelling and quantification of uncertainty from global climate change to local impacts of extreme events 2) methods to optimize and constrain model parameters using observations 3) risk management from identification (perception) and understanding (assessment, modelling) to actions (prevention, preparation, response, recovery, risk transfer) 4) basics of economic evaluation, economic decision making in the presence of climate risks and pre-emptive risk management to optimally allocate resources | |||||

| Inhalt | Social Data Science (SDS) provides a broad approach to the quantitative analysis of human behavior through digital trace data. SDS integrates the implementation of data retrieval and processing, the application of statistical analysis methods, and the interpretation of results to derive insights of human behavior at high resolutions and large scales. The motivation of SDS stems from theories in the Social Sciences, which are addressed with respect to societal phenomena and formulated as principles that can be tested against empirical data. Data retrieval in SDS is performed in an automated manner, accessing online databases and programming interfaces that capture the digital traces of human behavior. Data processing is computerized with calibrated methods that quantify human behavior, for example constructing social networks or measuring emotional expression. These quantities are used in statistical analyses to both test hypotheses and explore new aspects on human behavior. The course starts with an introduction to Social Data Science and the R statistical language, followed by three content blocks: collective behavior, sentiment analysis, and social network analysis. The course ends with a datathon that sets the starting point of final student projects. The course will cover various examples of the application of SDS: - Search trends to measure information seeking - Popularity and social impact - Evaluation of sentiment analysis techniques - Quantitative analysis of emotions and social media sharing - Twitter social network analysis The lectures include theoretical foundations of the application of digital trace data in the Social Sciences, as well as practical examples of data retrieval, processing, and analysis cases in the R statistical language from a literate programming perspective. The block course contains lectures and exercise sessions during the morning and afternoon of five days. Exercise classes provide practical skills and discuss the solutions to exercises that build on the concepts and methods presented in the previous lectures. | |||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | This course explores the automation of decisions in the legal system. We delve into the tools from natural language processing and machine learning needed to predict judge decision-making and ask whether it is possible -- or even desirable -- to build a robot judge. | |||||
| Lernziel | Is a concept of justice what truly separates man from machine? Recent advances in data science have caused many people to reconsider their responses to this question. With expanding digitization of legal data and corpora, alongside rapid developments in natural language processing and machine learning, the prospect arises for automating legal decisions. Data science technologies have the potential to improve legal decisions by making them more efficient and consistent. The benefits to society from this automation could be significant. On the other hand, there are serious risks that automated systems could replicate or amplify existing legal biases and rigidities. This course introduces students to the data science tools that are unlocking legal materials for computational and scientific analysis. We begin with the problem of representing laws as data, with a review of techniques for featurizing texts, extracting legal information, and representing documents as vectors. We explore methods for measuring document similarity and clustering documents based on legal topics or other features. Visualization methods include word clouds and t-SNE plots for spatial relations between documents. We next consider legal prediction problems. Given the evidence and briefs in this case, how will a judge probably decide? How likely is a criminal defendant to commit another crime? How much additional revenue will this new tax law collect? Students will investigate and implement the relevant machine learning tools for making these types of predictions, including regression, classification, and deep neural networks models. We then use these predictions to better understand the operation of the legal system. Under what conditions do judges tend to make errors? Against which types of defendants do parole boards exhibit bias? Which jurisdictions have the most tax loopholes? In a semester project, student groups will conceive and implement a research design for examining this type of empirical research question. Some programming experience in Python is required, and some experience with text mining is highly recommended. | |||||
