AI Approaches to Classification and Pattern Recognition in Molecular Biology AAAI-91 Workshop: Anaheim, California - July, 1991 Call for Participation Topic ----- Biological sequence analysis provides an important source of challenges for AI. These challenges fall into two categories: classification and pattern recognition. The classification task involves inducing patterns from data, and pattern recognition involves searching for instances of patterns in large datasets. Recent work has applied techniques from computational linguistics, machine learning, case-based reasoning, symbolic classification, Bayesian methods, and artificial neural networks to these analyses. Objectives and Format --------------------- This workshop is designed to bring together workers using such diverse approaches and focus on the rich set of problems presented by the recent availability of extensive biological sequence information. Researchers and theorists in classification and pattern recognition both inside and outside of the molecular biology problem domain are encouraged to apply. We will focus on methodologies which specifically target abstraction of the information contained in these biological macromolecules, both structural and functional, and the injection of knowledge-based reasoning into their analysis. Preliminary Workshop Agenda --------------------------- The workshop will be separated into two broad application areas; structure prediction and genetic sequence analysis. The format of the workshop will be the presentation of short papers followed by panel discussions. Submission Requirements ----------------------- Persons wishing to attend the workshop should submit three copies of a 1-2 page research summary including a list of relevant publications, along with a phone number and an electronic mail address if possible. Persons wishing to make presentations at the workshop should submit three copies of a short paper or extended abstract, in addition to the research summary. All submissions must be received by March 8, 1991. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be mailed to applicants by April 15, 1991. Camera ready copies of papers accepted for inclusion in the working notes of the workshop will be due on May 24, 1991.
