Machine Learning for breeding genetics

Prolego Scientific are a UCD start-up company working on machine learning in agriculture. They work mostly with genetic data using machine learning and traditional statistical techniques to predict plant and animal performance and breeding values. There are several issues the ESGI group might be able to help Prolego with, including the ability to perform machine learning algorithms on encrypted data, and on exploring new tools (such as deep learning) for some of their existing data sets.
