<div>ACM Sixth International Workshop on Data and Text Mining in Biomedical Informatics (DTMBIO)</div>
<div>October 29, 2012</div>
<div>In conjunction with ACM 20th Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) Maui, Hawaii USA</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>DTMBIO 12 organisers are pleased to announce that the sixth DTMBIO will be held in conjunction with CIKM, one of the largest data and text mining conferences. While CIKM presents the state-of-the-art research in informatics with the primary focus on data
and text mining, the main focus of DTMBIO is on biomedical and healthcare informatics. DTMBIO delegates will bring forth interesting applications of up-to-date informatics in the context of biomedical research.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Biological researchers face the current challenge of making effective use of the enormous amount of electronic biomedical data in order to better understand and explain complex biological systems. The biomedical data repositories include data in a wide
variety of forms, including bibliographic information from electronic medical journals, gene expression data from Microarray experiments, protein identification and quantification data from proteomics experiments, genomic sequences gathered by the Human Genome
Project, and patient healthcare records. The ability to automatically and effectively extract, integrate, understand and make use of information embedded in such heterogeneous - structured and unstructured - data remains a challenging task.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We invite the submission of papers that propose ways to address the variety of aspects involved in meeting this challenge.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Proposal and assessment of novel Text Mining (TM) evaluation</div>
<div>* Evaluation methods of biomedical applications, shared tasks</div>
<div>* Biomedical and Clinical text mining applications </div>
<div>* Information extraction from biomedical and clinical corpora (full texts, abstracts, EHRs, clinical trials, etc)</div>
<div>* Information retrieval from large biomedical data collections</div>
<div>* Gene sequence annotation</div>
<div>* Protein/RNA structure prediction</div>
<div>* Medical Ontologies and Text Mining</div>
<div>* Sequence and structural motifs</div>
<div>* Modelling of biochemical pathways and biological networks</div>
<div>* Image Mining in Medical and healthcare informatics</div>
<div>* Data and Text Mining solutions in biomedical informatics, for applications such as drug development, system biology, biomedical working processes</div>
<div>* Workflow modeling and analysis for drug development, system biology, and biomedical working processes</div>
<div>* Information integration for Data and Text Mining</div>
<div>* Mining multi-relational data</div>
<div><br>
