Description

We invite submissions to the Joint ICML and IJCAI Workshop on Computational Biology to be held in Stockholm SWEDEN (July 10-15, 2018). In Biology, there have been credible developments in high-throughput technologies such as next-generation sequencing, CyToF and single-cell sequencing that enable large-scale data generation from many interesting biological systems such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and human development. However, the scale of these new data make it challenging to analyze with traditional computational biology methods. In contrast, it presents an opportunity for machine learning practitioners to make significant contributions to our knowledge about human health and disease. It therefore seems befitting to bring together researchers engaged in applying ML in Computational Biology to discuss recent advances in this interdisciplinary field and ongoing developments.

We have invited several distinguished speakers from the Computational Biology community to discuss and present their current research. We also invite extended abstracts, long papers and highlight papers dealing with novel algorithms and computational approaches that are especially robust and scalable to high-dimensional data defined by tens of thousands of features as well as thousands to millions of observations. and provide interpretable relationships in biological systems. These can be applications of ML methods or bioinformatics approaches to biological and biomedical data.

Papers will be presented in poster format and some will be selected for oral presentation. Through invited talks and presentations by the participants, this workshop will bring together current advances in Computational Biology and set the stage for continuing interdisciplinary research discussions.

Registration

All participants must register for the workshop via the website of ICML 2018 conference or IJCAI 2018 conference
