Deep Learning for Population Genetic Inference with Dan Schrider - TWiML Talk #249

Published: April 9, 2019, 3:39 a.m.

b'Today we\\u2019re joined by Dan Schrider, assistant professor in the department of genetics at UNC Chapel Hill. \\n\\nMy discussion with Dan starts with an overview of population genomics, looking into his application of ML in the field. We then dig into Dan\\u2019s paper \\u201cThe Unreasonable Effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks in Population Genetic Inference,\\u201d which examines the idea that CNNs are capable of outperforming expert-derived statistical methods for some key problems in the field.'
