MLCB Workshop Joins MLCSB COSI
On October 1st 2018, the Machine Learning in Computational Biology (MLCB, mlcb.org) workshop joined the Community of Special Interest for "Machine Learning in Computational and Systems Biology” (MLCSB) of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). Joining forces of MLCB and MLCSB, the community will provide a common platform for all research activities at the interface of machine learning and computational and systems biology. Continuing MLCB's and MLCSB's successful track records of past workshops and conference sessions, MLCSB plans to host at least one conference session at the Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology (ISMB) Conference and one additional workshop per year. More information will be available on the COSI webpage http://cosi.iscb.org/wiki/MLCSB:Home) and through the Google group (https://groups.google.com/a/iscb.org/forum/#!forum/mlcsb.cosi).
Call for Papers: RECOMB 2019 - Deadline: October 30, 2018
