A workshop at the Twenty-Third Annual Conference on
Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS 2010)

Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: Oct 25, 2010,

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The field of computational biology has seen dramatic growth over
the past few years, in terms of newly available data, new
scientific questions and new challenges for learning and
inference. In particular, biological data is often relationally

A postdoctoral research position is available at the Australian National University for a
project Reconceiving Machine Learning.

Project: http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~williams/rml.html

Job: http://jobs.anu.edu.au/PositionDetail.aspx?p=1541

Closing: 24 October 2010

We present a biological data-mining problem that poses a number of significant challenges; the available data: (i) are of high dimensionality but of extremely small sample size, (ii) come from different sources which correspond to different biological levels, (iii) exhibit a high degree of feature dependencies and interactions within and between the different sources; some of the interactions between the different sources are known and available as background knowledge, and (iv) are incomplete.

There is a 2.5 year postdoctoral research fellow position available immediately at the
Australian National University. The position is associated with the project Structures and
Protocols for inference and the successful application would work with Prof Bob Williamson
and Dr Mark Reid.

**REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN**

MOTIVATION

Molecular biology and all the biomedical sciences are undergoing a
true revolution as a result of the emergence and growing impact of a
series of new disciplines/tools sharing the "-omics" suffix in their
name. These include in particular genomics, transcriptomics,
proteomics and metabolomics, devoted respectively to the examination

Discrete Optimization in Machine Learning
Structures, Algorithms and Applications

Workshop at the
24th Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems
(NIPS 2010)

http://www.discml.cc

Submission Deadline: Friday October 29, 2010

Solving optimization problems with ultimately discretely solutions is
becoming increasingly important in machine learning: At the core of
statistical machine learning is to infer conclusions from data, and
when the variables underlying the data are discrete, both the tasks of

New Directions in Multiple Kernel Learning
NIPS 2010 Workshop, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
http://doc.ml.tu-berlin.de/mkl_workshop
-- Submission Deadline: October 18, 2010 --

Research on Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) has matured to the point
where efficient systems can be applied out of the box to various
application domains. In contrast to last year's workshop, which
evaluated the achievements of MKL in the past decade, this workshop
looks beyond the standard setting and investigates new directions for
MKL.
