*10th International Workshop on*
*Biological **Knowledge Discovery from Big Data **(BIOKDD'19)*
Held in parallel with
*30th International Conference on Database and *
*Expert Systems Applications **(**DEXA'19**)*
Linz, Austria
August 26 - 29, 2019
In the recent years, there has been a rapid development of biological
technologies producing more and more *biological data*, i.e., data related
to biological macromolecules (DNA, RNA and proteins). The rise of *Next
Generation Sequencing* (NGS) technologies, also known as *high-throughput
sequencing* technologies, has contributed actively to the deluge of these
data. In general, these data are big, heterogeneous, complex, and distributed
in all over the world in databases. Analyzing biological big data is a
challenging task, not only, because of its complexity and its multiple and
numerous correlated factors, but also, because of the continuous evolution
of our understanding of the biological mechanisms. Classical approaches of
biological data analysis are no longer efficient and produce only a very
limited amount of information, compared to the numerous and complex
biological mechanisms under study. From here comes the necessity to adopt
new computer tools and develop new *in silico* high performance approaches
to support us in the analysis of biological big data and, hence, to help us
in our understanding of the correlations that exist between, on one hand,
structures and functional patterns in biological macromolecules and, on the
other hand, genetic and biochemical mechanisms. *Biological **Knowledge
Discovery from Big Data* (BIOKDD) is a response to these new trends.
Topics of BIOKDD'19 workshop include, but not limited to :
*Data Preprocessing: *Biological Big Data Storage*, *Representation
and Management
(data warehouses, databases, sequences, trees, graphs, biological networks
and pathways, …), Biological Big Data Cleaning (errors removal, redundant
data removal, completion of missing data, …), Feature Extraction
(motifs, subgraphs,
…), Feature Selection (filter approaches, wrapper approaches, hybrid
approaches, embedded approaches, …).
*Data Mining: *Biological Big Data Regression (regression of biological
sequences…), Biological Big Data Clustering/Biclustering (microarray data
biclustering, clustering/biclustering of biological sequences, …),
Biological Big Data Classification (classification of biological sequences…),
Association Rules Learning from Biological Big Data, Text mining and
Application to Biological Sequences, Web mining and Application to
Biological Big Data, Parallel, Cloud and Grid Computing for Biological Big
Data Mining.
*Data Postprocessing:* Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Filtering,
Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Representation and Visualization,
Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Evaluation (calculation of the
classification error rate, evaluation of the association rules *via*
numerical indicators, e.g. *measurements of interest*, … ), Biological
Nuggets of Knowledge Integration
*PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: *
