Syllabus

WEEK 1
Permutation feature importance on the MIMIC critical care database
This is an advanced exercise/lesson that combines knowledge from the three earlier modules: 1) 'Data mining of Clinical Databases' to query the MIMIC database, 2) 'Deep learning in Electronic Health Records' to pre-process EHR and build deep learning models and 3) 'Explainable deep learning models for healthcare' to explain the models decision. In particular, permutation feature importance is implemented and applied on MIMIC-III extracted datasets. The technique is applied both on logistic regression and on an LSTM model. The explanations derived are global explanations of the model.

WEEK 2
LIME on the MIMIC critical care database
This is an advanced exercise/lesson that combines knowledge from the three earlier modules: 1) 'Data mining of Clinical Databases' to query the MIMIC database, 2) 'Deep learning in Electronic Health Records' to pre-process EHR and build deep learning models and 3) 'Explainable deep learning models for healthcare' to explain the models decision. In particular, LIME is applied on MIMIC-III extracted datasets. The technique is applied on both logistic regression and an LSTM model . The explanations derived are local explanations of the model.

WEEK 3
Grad-CAM on the MIMIC critical care database
This is an advanced exercise/lesson that combines knowledge from the three earlier modules: 1) 'Data mining of Clinical Databases' to query the MIMIC database, 2) 'Deep learning in Electronic Health Records' to pre-process EHR and build deep learning models and 3) 'Explainable deep learning models for healthcare' to explain the models decision. In particular, GradCam is implemented and applied on an LSTM model that predicts mortality based on MIMIC-III extracted datasets. The explanations derived are local explanations of the model.

Browser-based Models with TensorFlow.js (Coursera)

Bringing a machine learning model into the real world involves a lot more than just modeling. This Specialization will teach you how to navigate various deployment scenarios and use data more effectively to train your model. In this first course, you’ll train and run machine learning models in any browser using TensorFlow.js. You’ll learn techniques for handling data in the browser, and at the end you’ll build a computer vision project that recognizes and classifies objects from a webcam.

Probabilistic Graphical Models 3: Learning (Coursera)

Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains: joint (multivariate) distributions over large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations sit at the intersection of statistics and computer science, relying on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, machine learning, and more. They are the basis for the state-of-the-art methods in a wide variety of applications, such as medical diagnosis, image understanding, speech recognition, natural language processing, and many, many more. They are also a foundational tool in formulating many machine learning problems.
