Cathy WangDoctoral Student, Department of Biostatistics, Harvard University"Multi-Study Semi-Supervised Learning: A First Look"ABSTRACT: In many machine learning applications, the gold standard label is difficult or expensive to obtain. Semi-supervised learning (SSL) methods leverage unlabeled data to improve a model’s performance when only limited labeled data is available. We investigate the replicability of the performance of … Continue reading "Quantitative Issues in Cancer Research Working Seminar"
