Overview
About the project
Contextualized embeddings have revolutionized the field of machine learning. First, as a means to encode text in natural language applications and later on as a representational mechanism for other modalities including image, longitudinal, and high-dimensional structured data. In recent years, embedding approaches have been proposed to address problems in biology and healthcare, however, there are many important questions that require further investigation.
For instance:
- how to effectively integrate embeddings for discrete elements with continuous measurements
- how to integrate granular temporal or ordering information into embeddings
- how to effectively create embeddings for multimodal data.
Successful applicants will work toward developing a model prototype addressing one of the questions above using state-of-the-art representation learning approaches based on deep learning architectures. The Contextualized Embeddings for Biomedical Data (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University Of Science and Technology (KAUST)
