Lecture series: Genetic sequence representation for machine learning

TIPs launches a lecture series on genetic sequence representation for machine learning

The TIPs research group invites you to join an informal, remote, and free preliminary lecture on genetic sequence representation for machine learning, focusing on the TIPs-VF (Translator-Interpreter Pre-seeding for Variable Fragment) approach.

This session is part of our engagement program to inspire more students, researchers, and professionals in the Philippines to explore machine learning-driven biomedical research. By participating, you’ll help us refine our delivery, share feedback, and spark more innovation in the field.

Who is this for?

• Students in life sciences, health, medicine, or engineering

• Researchers and professionals in biomedical fields

• Anyone curious about genetic data applications in AI

What to expect:

• A beginner-friendly introduction to genetic sequence encoding for ML

• Live demonstration of TIPs-VF in action

• Open discussion on possible applications in Philippine biomedical research

• A short Q&A session

Details:

• Date: August 17, 2025

• Time: 3:00 - 3:30 PM (Philippines Standard Time)
