Data mining in bioinformatics: challenges and opportunities

Abstract

In this talk I will discuss some data mining techniques and methods in the bioinformatics domain, what are the main challenges and what are the opportunities. I will cover some of the issues related to biomedical literature mining, bioinformatics data integration and biological network analysis and simulation. In biomedical literature mining, I will discuss the effective information retrieval and large-scale information extraction from biomedical literatures. I will also share my view of the semantic-based approach for data integration for bioinformatics domain. In the end, I will talk about the various approaches for biological network analysis and simulation.
