My major is in Machine Learning, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. I did my bachelor’s thesis on feature selection for cancer cell data using dimensionality reduction and clustering methods. The goal was to find a better set of features for comboLTR, a machine learning method for finding new drug combinations.
