We perform teaching and research in machine learning strategies for the pattern analysis of various kinds of data. This comprises statistical models for clustering, graphical models for network inference and algorithmic methods to efficiently find these structures in the data.

Decoding models, such as those underlying multivariate classification algorithms, have been increasingly used to infer cognitive or clinical brain states from measures of brain activity obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The practicality of current classifiers, however, is restricted by two major challenges. First, due to the high data dimensionality and low sample size, algorithms struggle to separate informative from uninformative features, resulting in poor generalization performance. Second, popular discriminative methods such as support vector machines (SVMs) rarely afford...
