Data-Driven Modelling of Biological Systems for Educators

This certification course explores the integration of data-driven discovery with biological systems modelling. Topics include sparse modelling techniques, such as Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy), addressing traditional challenges like mechanistic modelling assumptions. Participants will learn SINDy's principles, limitations, and potential extensions to improve robustness, manage noise, and quantify uncertainty. Applications focus on hypothesis generation using data-driven...
