This workshop will bring together a group of researchers from the biomedical sciences, machine learning and computational biology, to address the solution of challenging problems and help to develop an edge over existing approaches. The workshop will be organized around a small set of biomedical researchers, who will describe datasets and associated analysis challenges. At the same time there will be an opportunity for machine learning researchers to give overviews of approaches that might be effective for these problems.

 
At the least we hope that the interchange will provide valuable insights for researchers from both communities into the problems and techniques. The ideal outcome would be the establishment of new cross-disciplinary collaborations and/or new challenges based on the biomedical data.

The workshop will be grouped around four themes each occupying half a day.
