Summer Research Week 5 (08/01 - 08/05)

Machine Learning & Biology

• Read the following paper and take notes: What the papers say: Text mining for genomics and systems biology, Nathan Harmston, Wendy Filsell and Michael PH Stumpf, Human Genomics, 2010. Applying text mining to biological research in genomics and system biology is one of the areas that machine learning can potentially have major impact. 
• Read through a paper (A framework for the development of Biomedical Text Mining software tools) describing the basic framework of a text mining system for bioinformatics. You don't need to understand the details of every system/tool mentioned in the paper. However, try to capture the main idea about the whole framework and where and how these systems and tools can be put together to help people study biology.
