Abstract: Genomic technologies have become an established and readily accessible tool for probing biological systems at the molecular level. Recent improvements in technology have lowered costs and increased throughput such that the classical problem of “large p, small n” is evolving to a “fixed p, increasing n” issue in a number of domains. In this talk I will describe some of the problems arising from genomics which are driving novel developments in statistical machine learning both in terms of novel models but also innovations in computation – particularly for Bayesian inference. I will outline some of my groups own contributions in modelling disease progression from high-dimensional sequencing data and structured dimensionality reduction techniques built for discrete genomic data.
