Transcript HIV Mutation Classifier

HIV Mutation Classifier
Hannah Bier’s Project Proposal
HIV Protease and Drug
Resistance
Classification



Each strain of HIV protease will be
stored as a chain of amino acids
They will be grouped according to
mutations that correspond with
antiviral resistance
To do this, I will implement a neural
network
Overview of Neural
Networks
Polynomial vs. Linear
Separability
Training and Testing



I will train and test on a dataset of HIV
protease labeled with drug resistance data
The data will be separated into a training
set and a testing set
Once trained, the neural network should
classify the elements of the testing set in
accordance with their labels.
