Meeting Description
The International Symposium on Languages in Biology and Medicine (LBM) 2007
seeks to provide a renewed opportunity for interaction between language
professionals with different methodological backgrounds. LBM was established in
2005 and the remit of this event remains highly relevant today. The symposium
focuses on the languages that are in active use for biology and medicine. We are
calling for original research papers on, but not limited to the topics listed
below. Papers focusing on application aspects of languages in biology and
medicine are also invited.
- Natural language: text mining, retrieval and management;
- Ontology language: ontology construction, extension and management;
- Logic language: knowledge representation and induction;
- Sequence language: RNA structure prediction, protein domain prediction;
- Database language: database interface, query language;
- Visualization language: information visualization, molecular visualization.
