Data Mining and Text Mining for Bioinformatics: Proceedings of the
European Workshop
Held in Conjunction with
ECML / PKDD- 2003
in Dubrovnik, Croatia
22 September, 2003
Preface
In the past years, research in molecular biology and molecular medicine
has accumulated enormous amounts of data. This includes genomic sequences
gathered by the Human Genome Project, gene expression data from microarray
experiments, protein identification and quantification data from proteomics
experiments, and SNP data from high-throughput SNP arrays. However, our
understanding of the biological processes underlying these data lags far
behind. There is a strong interest in employing methods of knowledge discovery
and data mining to generate models of biological systems. Mining biological
databases imposes challenges which knowledge discovery and data mining have
to address, and which form the focus of the European Workshop on Data Mining
and Text Mining for Bioinformatics.
This volume contains the papers presented at the European Workshop on
Data Mining and Text Mining for Bioinformatics, held at the European Conference
on Machine Learning and the European Conference on Principles and Practice
of Knowledge Discovery in Databases, in Dubrovnik, Croatia, on September
22, 2003. Three invited and ten contributed papers were presented at the workshop;
invited presentations were given by
- Luc Dehaspe, PharmaDM: “Great Expectations: A To-Do List for the Biologist’s
in Silico Research Assistant”,
- Udo Hahn, Freiburg University: “Challenging Natural Language Processors
– Prospects for Bioinformatics in the Natural Language Engineering Age”,
and
- Steven J. Barrett, GlaxoSmithKline Research and Development: “Recurring
Analytical Problems within Drug Discovery and Development”.
