Description |
|
| The aim of this workshop is to contribute to the cross-fertilization between the research in machine learning methods and their applications to complex biological and medical questions by bringing together method developers and experimentalists. We encourage submissions bringing forward methods for discovering complex structures (e.g. interaction networks, molecule structures) and methods supporting genome-wide data analysis. A non-exhaustive list of topics suitable for this workshop: Methods Machine Learning Algorithms Bayesian Methods Data integration/fusion Feature/subspace selection Clustering Biclustering/association rules Kernel Methods Probabilistic Inference Structured output prediction Systems identification Graph inference, completion, smoothing Semi-supervised learning Applications Sequence Annotation Gene Expression and post-transcriptional regulation Inference of gene regulation networks Gene Prediction and whole genome association studies Metabolic pathway modeling Signaling networks Systems biology approaches to biomarker identification Rational drug design methods Metabolic Reconstruction Protein Structure Prediction Protein Function Prediction Protein-protein interaction networks SUBMISSIONS OF EXTENDED ABSTRACTS We invite to submit an extended abstract of maximum 8 pages. Each extended abstract must be submitted by June 15 2008 electronically via the Easychair submission system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mlsb08 Formatting instructions can be found on the workshop website http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/services/stochastic/mlsb08 The extended abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific programme committee. The papers will be selected for oral or poster presentation according to their originality and relevance to the workshop topics. Electronic versions of the extended abstracts will be accessible to the participants prior to the conference and will be made publicly available on the conference web site after the conference. It is also planned to publish these papers in a special volume of a bioinformatics journal. SUBMISSION OF POSTER PRESENTATIONS We invite you also to apply for poster presentations on topics of relevance to the workshop. Each poster presentation should be described in a 1 page summary and be submitted by August 20, 2008 via the Easychair submission system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mlsb08 Poster summaries must follow the same formatting instructions as the extended abstract, but should not exceed one page. |
