Description |
|
| The life sciences encompass research and development in areas such as biology, pharmacology, biophysics, biochemistry, neuroscience, medicine, and environmental sciences. A common theme among life science disciplines is the desire to understand the stimuli-response mechanisms of biological entities, systems and processes at different levels of organization from molecules to organisms to ecosystems. As natural phenomena are being probed and mapped in ever greater detail, life scientists are generating an increasingly growing amount of textual information in the form of full text research articles, abstracts, Web content, reports, books, and so on. Knowledge discovery in text (KDT) is a fast-developing field that encompasses a variety of methodologies, methods and tools, which facilitate automated processing of text information stored in electronic format. The KDLL 2006 workshop will bring together scientists who have researched and applied KDT methodologies and techniques in the context of life science research and development applications and will discuss innovative work in progress on important new KDT directions in the life sciences. Contributions of interest will address topics related to, but not limited by, the following: - Extraction of entities and relationships - Construction of life science ontologies, biological pathways interaction profiles - Methods and algorithms for clustering and classification of life science texts - Language processing techniques for biology texts - KDT approaches in systems biology - KDT database maintenance and integrity - KDT for ontological annotation - KDT exploiting grid computing, Web services and other distributed computing environments - Combination of KDT methods with other information systems and repositories - Evaluation of KDT methods and tools in life science applications and problems - Construction of controlled vocabularies More information can be found at http://bioinformatics.ulster.ac.uk/kdll2006/. |
