2006 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

On September 28 I will give the keynote lecture at the 2006 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CIBCB) in Toronto. The title of my talk is "Genome-Wide Genetic Analysis using Computational Intelligence: The Importance of Expert Knowledge". This presentation will review our recent work on using expert knowledge to guide the genome-wide analysis of epistasis using stochastic search algorithms such as genetic programming. See several of my recent blog posts for more information.

On September 29th I will be presenting at CIBCB our peer-reviewed on "Feature Selection using a Random Forests Classifier for the Integrated Analysis of Multiple Data Types" by Reif et al. Here is the citation:
