ECML/PKDD 2011 MIND Workshop (Mining Complex Entities from Network and Biomedical Data)

Co-located with ECML/PKDD 2011, European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases

Friday 9th September 2011, Athens, Greece

http://www.di.uniba.it/~loglisci/MIND2011/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the areas of Data Mining, Text Mining, Information Extraction, and Machine Learning working on network-represented data, such as Biomedical data.


MIND aims at promoting an interdisciplinary forum on research fields which have been studied separately so far but have had little attention together. Given your expertise in this field, we kindly invite you and your research group to consider participating to this event and submitting a contribution to share your investigations.

You may find more information about MIND 2011 in the following links:

Please also note that selected papers will be invited to be extended for a journal submission at the Journal of Social Network Mining (IJSNM), or at a special issue of the Journal of Biomedical Semantics, depending on the nature and the application areas of the paper.


We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing you in Athens.
