6. Core Methodological Challenges C1: Learning models from massive data C3: Statistical inference in structured stochastic models C4: Extreme Inference engine C2: Learning from multiple data sources Future Computational Inference F1: Intelligent information access F2: Computational molecular biology and medicine Kaski Oja Myllymäki Niemelä Corander Aurell Laaksonen

7. F1: Intelligent Information Access

8. F2: Computational Molecular Biology and Medicine Fig.. Eye diagram showing the relationships between top 10 CCA coponents (middle), all Volsurf descriptors (left), and top genesets (right). CCA components are shown as circles, with numbers indicating the decreasing order of canonical correlation and letters indicating the sub-components. The widths of the curves from the components to Volsurf descriptors and genesets indicate the strength of the corresponding associations. For Volsurf descriptors the sub-component specific activity is shown, whereas for the genesets we show the overall activity of the component.
