International Workshop on Applications of Machine Learning and Signal Processing in Biomedical Informatics and Computational Genomics
(AMLSP-BCG 2019)
In conjunction with
IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM 2019)
In conjunction with
IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM 2019)
Availability of genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic (which for simplicity we call them omics) data, biomedical images and clinical data, improvements in computational systems and advent of big-data analytics have created an opportunity to address many important questions in biology, genomics and medicine. However, high dimensionality, heterogeneity, multimodality, noisiness, incompleteness, and inter-dependency of such data and images hinder their analyses.
The benefit of employing advanced signal processing and machine learning (recently deep learning) techniques to tackle the above challenges has been proven in other fields. However, relatively limited applications of these techniques have been made in biomedical informatics and computational genomics, where there are many challenging tasks that can be done using these advanced techniques.
Also, there are many open problems in signal processing and machine learning that need to be solved for effective use in biomedical informatics and computational genomics.
This workshop aims to provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers to exchange research ideas and share research findings to promote the development or refining of machine learning and signal processing methods for biomedical informatics, bioinformatics and computational genomics.
