FREY, Brendan, Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, University of Toronto
Brendan Frey has contributed to the emergence of new fields of research in machine learning and genome biology. He was one of the first researchers to successfully train a deep neural network, and he was a pioneer in inventing message passing algorithms, which are now widely used. He co-developed the long-sought-after - splicing code' for determining how genes are expressed and introduced a new approach to understanding the genetics of disease.

Brendan Frey a contribué à l'émergence de nouveaux champs dans l'apprentissage machine et Genome Biology. Il a été parmi les premiers chercheurs à former avec succès un réseau de neurones profond, et un pionnier dans l'invention des algorithmes de passage de messages. Il a co-développé le long convoité «code d'épissage» pour déterminer comment les gênes sont exprimés et ont introduit une nouvelle approche de la compréhension de la génétique de la maladie.
