3rd IEEE International Workshop on Biomedical Ontologies and Literature Mining (BIOLM 2008)

with

2008 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2008)



Call for Papers

Data Mining deals with the use of data analysis techniques and methodologies in the design, development and assessment of data and information systems for biomedical computing. The goal of this workshop is to share research solutions using data mining approaches to problems of today's biomedical literature and to identify new issues and directions for future research in biomedical literature mining. Techniques and Methodologies proposed in this workshop will help addressing two major challenges to incorporate this vast biological knowledge into the data mining cycle: (i) designing efficient the text mining frameworks; and (ii) adapting existing text mining algorithms to understand constantly varying and changing biomedical data. In this workshop we hope to present to the audience, the state-of-the-art frameworks for bringing the background biomedical knowledge into the pattern recognition task for biomedical literature.

Authors are invited to submit original papers to the workshop exploring text mining theories, techniques, and applications for Bioinformatics. Papers are invited (but not limited) to the following topics:

  • Foundations of Biomedical Literature Mining
    • Genomics and Proteomics
    • Comparative Genomics
    • Microarray Data Analysis
    • Protein/RNA Structure Prediction
    • Phylogenetics
    • Drug Design
    • Feature selection and pattern discovery in biological data
    • System Biology and Pathways
  • Ontologies in Biomedicine
