Abstract

This seminar deals with the development of clinically relevant computational tools and/or their application to psychiatry and psychosomatics. Complementary to the annual Computational Psychiatry Course, it serves to build bridges between computational scientists and clinicians and is designed to foster in-depth exchange, with ample time for discussion

Objective

Understanding strengths and weaknesses of current trends in the development of clinically relevant computational tools and their application to problems in psychiatry and psychosomatics.

Content

This seminar deals with the development of computational tools (e.g. generative models, machine learning) and/or their application to psychiatry and psychosomatics. The seminar includes (i) presentations by computational scientists and clinicians, (ii) group discussion with focus on methodology and clinical utility, (iii) self-study based on literature provided by presenters.

Resources

Literature

Literature for additional self-study of the topics presented in this seminar will be provided by the presenters and will be available online at https://www.tnu.ethz.ch/de/teaching
