    Abstract

    Reverse engineering whole-genome networks from large-scale gene expression datasets and analyzing them to discover biological knowledge are important challenges in systems biology. While simpler models easily scale to large number of genes and gene expression datasets, more accurate models are compute-intensive limiting their scale of applicability.
     
    In this talk, Prof. Aluru will present his group’s research over the last fifteen years in learning genome-scale networks and using them to extract new biological hypothesis. This includes network learning methods based on information theory, Bayesian networks, and deep learning, parallel algorithms to facilitate learning of large networks, and generating ensemble networks combining multiple approaches. The resulting networks can be used for predicting gene function and extracting context-specific subnetworks.

    About the EuroCC-2 project

    EuroCC 2 will work to identify and address the skills gaps in the European High Performance Computing (HPC) ecosystem and coordinate cooperation across Europe to ensure a consistent skills base.

    The role of EuroCC 2 is to establish and run a network of more than 30 NCCs across the EuroHPC Participating States. The NCCs act as single points of access in each country between stakeholders and national and EuroHPC systems. They operate on a regional and national level to liaise with local communities, in particular SMEs, map HPC competencies and facilitate access to European HPC resources for users from the private and public sector.

    EuroCC 2 delivers training, interacts with industry, develops competence mapping and communication materials and activities, and supports the adoption of HPC services in other related fields, such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI), high performance data analytics (HPDA) to expand the HPC user base.

     

    This project has received funding from the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 101101903. The JU receives support from the European Union’s programme Digital Europe and Germany, Bulgaria, Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg , Slovakia, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, the Republic of North Macedonia, Iceland, Montenegro and Serbia.
