Development of machine learning methods for modeling the evolution of tumor

by Randy Wei for Centre for Computational Medicine, SickKids Research Institute

The goal of this project is to implement the machine learning methods in C/C++ to model the clonal evolution of cancer tumors, based on the research prototype written in Python. The main focus will be on writing highly optimized code in C/C++ using graph data structures and algorithms, and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
