High-Resolution Microbiome Modeling for Individualized Diet Recommendations

Viome is a "wellness as a service" company that uses AI systems to understand the biological ecosystem inside each of us, and improve our wellness through a personalized diet and lifestyle plan. Viome applies statistical AI (machine learning) and symbolic AI (knowledge representation & reasoning) to create a high-resolution model of individual microbiomes, then uses concepts from modern medical science to recommend nutrition and lifestyle regimes personalized for individuals.  In this talk, I will describe some of the technical challenges in this space and the approaches we're using to address them.
