Introduction

The digital universe is expanding continuously. This huge amount of information is often referred to big data have a huge potential to answer questions that could not be answered before. For example, in biomedical sciences, researchers increasingly make use of these Big Data, by pooling real-time data from multiple sources including electronic healthcare records in order to e.g. detect diseases at an early stage. The summer school  on big data will prove you with a sound introduction to this exciting new field in health research. Spanning topics such as:
- Introduction to machine learning (ML)
- Automated ML
- Causal inference using big data and ML
- Natural language processing
- Data linkage

This will be embed in medical research through numerous reall-life examples and case-studies.
