Representation learning for anti-microbial resistance
This project is about using neural network models help us understand Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR), a phenomenon in which bacteria adapt to reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics, usually through a process known as Lateral or Horizontal Gene Transfer - where genes are included in the organism from other sources.Our focus will be on learning compact vector representations of biological sequences known to be associated with AMR genes. By encoding DNA sequences in this way we can more rapidly identify AMR genes …
