Artificial intelligence techniques applied to the biomolecular scope

The main learning outcomes of this subject:

- Identify and know the different AI techniques oriented to machine learning (i.e., Machine Learning).

- Identify the different AI techniques oriented to deep learning (i.e., Deep Learning).

- To know how to apply the most appropriate machine learning or deep learning model for a given data analysis/exploitation problem in the biomolecular field.

- To know how to use software platforms to build models based on automatic or deep learning from biomolecular data.

- To know how to preprocess, interpret and reduce the dimensionality of large-scale biomolecular data to facilitate their treatment by automatic or deep learning.

Comp05 - Collaborate in interdisciplinary teams in any work environment, based on knowledge of the environment and current legal regulations

Comp07 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of ​​study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.

Con08 - Identify and learn about the different AI techniques aimed at machine learning and deep learning to build models from field data

H/D10 - Reprocess, interpret and reduce the dimensionality of large-scale biomolecular data, to facilitate its treatment through machine or deep learning

For the correct acquisition of the skills by the student, the following general set of methodologies has been adopted for the degree:
1st) Expository teaching
2nd) Interactive teaching:
Practices (in the laboratory and/or in the computer room)
Problem solving and/or practical cases
Seminars
Tutorials in small groups
USC Virtual Campus
3rd) Carrying out work:
Individual works, without or with exhibition
Group work, without or with exhibition
4th) Individual tutorials
Given that, based on this Report and the general regulations of the USC, the distribution of face-to-face hours of expository teaching, practices, seminars and group tutorials, as well as individual tutorials, is already established for each subject and when appropriate,

The teacher responsible for teaching each subject will establish and state in his teaching guide which methodologies he will use among those previously mentioned.

• Final exam (value between 10%-40% of the overall grade - Comp07, H/D10
• Continuous monitoring (5%-35%) -Comp05
• Assessment of practical work (10%-40%) - Comp07, Comp05, H/D10, Con08
• Evaluation of tutored work (10%-40%) - Comp05, Con08

For cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the application established in the "Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and the revision of qualifications" will be applied".

Theory classes/Master class – 24 face-to-face hours + 48 non-face-to-face hours
Practical laboratory classes/Laboratory practices – 12 face-to-face hours + 20 non-face-to-face hours
Carrying out supervised work/Autonomous work – 0 face-to-face hours + Z non-face-to-face hours
