| New Problems and Methods in Bioinformatics Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) Workshops 2003 Whistler, BC, Canada, December 11-13 Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: November 15. Workshop email address: nips-bioinfo@cs.columbia.edu Workshop web address: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/compbio/nips-bioinfo.html Workshop Description: Over the past few years, the field of computational biology has seen a dramatic growth in diverse kinds of data: sequenced genomes for an increasing number of organisms, gene expression data from multiple technologies, protein sequence and 3D structural data, protein-protein interaction data, gene ontology and pathway databases, annotated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other types of genetic variations in humans, and an enormous amount of text data in the form of the biological and medical scientific literature. Clearly, the field presents both opportunities and challenges to the machine learning community, as new learning problems arise both as a result of new sources of high throughput data and recent developments in biology. The goal of this workshop is to present emerging problems and machine learning techniques in computational biology. We plan to have several speakers from the biology/bioinformatics community who will present current research problems in bioinformatics, and we invite contributed talks on novel learning approaches in computational biology. We encourage contributions describing either progress on new bioinformatics problems or work on established problems using methods that are substantially different from standard approaches. Kernel methods, graphical models, and other techniques applied to relevant bioinformatics problems would all be appropriate for the workshop. Researchers interested in participating should send an extended 2-page abstract (.ps or .pdf format) to nips-bioinfo@cs.columbia.edu by November 15. Organizers: Christina Leslie, Dept. of Computer Science, Columbia University William Stafford Noble, Dept. of Genome Sciences, University of Washington Koji Tsuda, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics |
