Digging out Genetic Roots using an Exact Approach

Dr. Sharlee Climer , University of Missouri – St. Louis

Combinatorial problems are ubiquitous across diverse fields in the sciences and industry. Despite rapid advances in computational power, most problems of interest stubbornly remain intractable and approximate solutions are typically employed. This presentation will introduce our emerging research for optimally solving combinatorial problems using a unique combination of linear programming and AI. We’ve developed methods for genetic and real-valued data and applied our methods to several phenotypes, including Alzheimer disease.
