Title: Large-Scale Sparse Learning for Biomedical Data

Abstract:

Sparse methods have been applied extensively to analyze biomedical data.
In this talk, we consider sparse methods for (1) variable selection where the
structure over the features can be represented as an undirected graph or a
collection of disjoint groups, (2) multi-source data fusion with a "blockwise"
data missing pattern, and (3) network construction. We address the computational
challenge by designing novel screening strategies which scale sparse methods to
large-size problems.


Bio:

Jieping Ye is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the
Arizona State University. He is a core faculty member of the
Bio-design Institute
at ASU. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of
Minnesota, Twin Cities in 2005. His research interests include machine learning,
data mining, and biomedical informatics. He has served as Senior Program
Committee/Area Chair/Program Committee Vice Chair of many conferences
including NIPS,
KDD, IJCAI, ICDM, SDM, ACML, and PAKDD. He serves as an Associate Editor of IEEE
Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. He won the SCI Young
Investigator of the Year Award at ASU in 2007, the SCI Researcher of
the Year Award
at ASU in 2009, and the NSF CAREER Award in 2010. His papers have been
selected for
the outstanding student paper at the International Conference on
Machine Learning in
2004, the KDD best research paper honorable mention in 2010, the KDD
best research
paper nomination in 2011 and 2012, the SDM best research paper runner
up in 2013,
and the KDD best research paper runner up in 2013.
