Workshop Summary DTMBIO 10 Workshop Summary

摘要

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the ACM Fourth International Workshop on Data and Text Mining in Biomedical Informatics (DTMBIO'10), in conjunction with the 19th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM'10). The rapid development of bioinformatics techniques is tightly coupled with development within several fields in computer science, including data mining, information retrieval, and database management systems, among others. A fundamental topic of research within bioinformatics is how to make effective use of the tremendous amount of biological and biomedical data to improve the understanding of biological systems. Such data include, but are not limited to, gene and protein sequences, gene expression profiles from microarray experiments, protein structure predictions resulting from high-throughput computational methods, protein-protein interactions from proteomic studies, single nucleotide polymorphisms profiles from SNP arrays, and much bibliographic information from electronic medical journals.
