The 2019 ICML Workshop on Computational Biology
Date: June 14, 2019
Location: 101, Level 1, Promenade 100, Convention center, Long Beach, CA, USA
We invite submissions to the ICML Workshop on Computational Biology to be held in Long Beach, CA, USA on June 14, 2019. In Biology, there have been incredible 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. The scale of these new data make it challenging to analyze with traditional computational biology methods. This presents an opportunity for the machine learning community to make significant contributions to our knowledge about human health, disease, and fundamental questions in biology.
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 robust, scalable to high-dimensional data, and provide interpretable models of biological systems. These can be applications of ML methods or bioinformatics approaches to biological and biomedical data or novel approaches that enable new analyses.
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.
