ACM 11th International Workshop on Data and Text Mining in Biomedical
Informatics
(DTMBIO) November 10, 2017

In conjunction with [[CIKM 2017]]

DTMBIO 17 organizers are pleased to announce that the eleventh 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 health informatics. DTMBIO delegates will bring forth interesting
applications of up-to-date informatics in the context of biomedical research.
This year, we are particularly interested in techniques and applications of Big
Data Analytics to biomedical and clinical research problems.

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 massively parallel sequencing, 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.

We invite the submission of papers that propose ways to address the variety of
aspects involved in meeting this challenge.

Topic of Interest
The relevant topics include the following (but not limited to):
* Biomedical and clinical text mining applications
* Big bio- or clinical- data analytics
* Integration of structured and unstructured resources for biomedical applications
* Information extraction from biomedical and clinical corpora (published literature, grey literature, EHRs, clinical trials, etc.)
* Information retrieval from large biomedical data collections
* Gene sequence annotation
* Protein/RNA structure prediction
* Medical Ontologies and Text Mining
* Entity or Concept recognition in text with ontologies
* Sequence and structural motifs
* Modeling of biochemical pathways and biological networks
* Image Mining in Medical and healthcare informatics
* Data and text Mining solutions in biomedical informatics, for applications such as drug development, system biology, biomedical working processes
* Information integration for Data and Text Mining
* Mining multi-relational data
* Proposal and assessment of novel Text Mining (TM) evaluation strategies
* Evaluation methods of biomedical applications, shared tasks

Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not
being considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts should be
submitted electronically, in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready
templates (available in http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions) .

Full papers:
Submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work.
Full papers may consist of up to eight pages. Full papers will be presented at
the workshop.

Short papers:
DTMBIO 17 solicits short papers as well. Short paper submissions must describe
original and unpublished work. Short papers will be presented at the workshop,
and will be given four pages in the proceedings.

Posters:
We solicit quality posters that describe previously published or unpublished
work. Posters will be presented at the workshop. In the last DTMBIO, we had a
session for a lightning talk (~5 mins) for each poster.

All papers (in PDF format) should be submitted to:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dtmbio2017

Selected full papers (~ 8 papers) will be invited for a special issue of BMC
Bioinformatics.

Important Dates (subject to change)
