MeDIC

Metabolomic Dashboard for Interpretable Classification

Description

The MeDIC is a tool to apply machine learning algorithms to untargeted metabolomics datasets acquired by liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry. The goal is to extract the most important features because they are potential novel biomarkers. The interface is made to be easy to use and intuitive even for those with small to nonexistant experience in programming and AI.

More generally, it is a tool to apply interpretable machine learning algorithms to tabular data. It focuses on analyzing the features selected by the models.

The documentation

You can find the documentation here. It explains how to use MeDIC but also how it works.
