Mid November last year, NuNet team has participated in Odyssey Momentum 2020 online hackathon within Nature 2.0 challenge. As a result, the team got the opportunity to work further within Nature 2.0 and Odyssey ecosystem towards a pilot project with other four Nature 2.0 teams and three large Dutch ecosystem providers. However, this post is not about that cooperation — we will … [Read more...] about Development update and outlook 2021–1

Statistical hypothesis testing allows us to make decisions in the presence of incomplete data. By definition, these decisions are uncertain. Statisticians have developed rigorous methods to evaluate this risk. Nevertheless, some subjectivity is always involved in the decision-making process. The theory is just a tool that helps us make decisions in an uncertain world.Here, we … [Read more...] about Getting started with statistical hypothesis testing — a simple z-test

In our previous blog, we introduced the concept of SHAP values (4) and its advantages over other saliency mapping methods such as LIME (5). We also proposed that the application of this method to genetic data can be used to explore biology and enable clinical utility of deep models. However, given the reliability issues touched on in the previous blog as well as those reported … [Read more...] about Explainable AI: Part Two — Investigating SHAP’s Statistical Stability
