WORKSHOP PROGRAM
PURPOSE
and SCOPE
To handle the
torrents of data yielded by high-throughput experiments like genome
sequencing
and gene expression measurement, today’s biologists are expanding their
scientific capability by computer and internet. Huge amount of
biological data
are well-organized, stored, and searched at database sites. Due to the
rich
information stored in databases, statistical methods including machine
learning
and data mining are of increasing importance. In addition to such
intelligent
algorithms, text data and ontologies are strongly supporting today’s
biologists. For instance, recent application software for gene
expression
analysis tends to combine statistical algorithms (clutering, PCA,
etc.),
concepts represented as ontologies (e.g. Gene Ontology), and text data
from
literature (PubMed, etc.) to help scientists data analysis and
hypothesis
verification. Because of this situation, the workshop aims to provide a
forum
for more detailed discussion on the following computational
technologies (but
not limited) applied to biological or medical data.
- Knowledge representation
- Knowledge management
- Knowledge discovery
- Data mining
- Text mining
- Text classification
- Natural language processing
- Ontology construction
- Ontology utilization
- Machine learning

REVIEW
All papers
submitted to this workshop will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.
Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.
PUBLICATION
All the accepted
*and* presented papers will be included in the proceedings available
on-site
during the workshop. To
be included in the proceedings, at least one of the
authors must confirm his/her attendance to the workshop and present the
paper. Authors
